Abstract
In October, 1982, a multi-agency nearshore processes experiment was conducted at Duck, NC to measure the nearshore morphological response to storm-induced waves and currents. The experimental setting for a series of companion papers is described, as are the oceanographic and meteorological characteristics of the storms. Rapid changes to the nearshore bar system occurred during the early stages of the first storm, and the bar developed a pronounced crescentic configuration during subsequent periods of high waves. Much of this activity is attributed to the effects of infragravity waves having periods greater than 30 seconds.
