Abstract

FRANCO-OCHOA, Cuauhtémoc et al. Observation and Analysis of Hydro-morphologic Parameters in Las Glorias beach, México. Tecnol. cienc. agua [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.2, pp.153-170.  Epub Apr 21, 2021. ISSN 2007-2422.  https://doi.org/10.24850/j-tyca-2019-02-06.

Based on measurements and sampling carried out quarterly along 18 profiles of the Las Glorias beach from August 2015 to May 2016 and with the wave data provided by the Mexican Institute of Transport (IMT), on the one hand, the changes in the profile of the beach and its relationship with the wave regime impacting it are analyzed and, on the other hand, a database is provided that includes the analysis of swell, sediment and morphology data for future studies on its morph dynamics. The results revealed that the distribution of sediments on the beach is spatially and temporally very homogeneous and that the inter-annual cycle of change of the beach profile responds to the seasonal wave regime.

Keywords : beach profile; Las Glorias beach; waves; morphology.
