littoral cell การใช้

Identifying littoral cells is crucial to determine the sediment budget of sandy coasts.
In south-west Western Australia, large cuspate forelands and rocky headlands are thought to be boundaries for littoral cells.
To assess the sedimentary budget the coast has to be divided into two separate morphologies, commonly known as littoral cells and compartments.
Littoral cells can either be free or fixed and can occupy a hierarchy of scales, from individual rip cells to entire beaches.
There are three kinds of boundaries between littoral cells : longshore, landward, and seaward; across which sediment may enter the littoral cell or leave it by various processes.
