The National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes of England has developed a coastal
wave network which concentrates on measurements in shallow water where, traditionally, there are
very few long-term wave data and where the wave transformation models are generally less reliable.
The main purposes of the coastal wave network are to:
- Provide real-time data for use in beach operations, coastal flood forecasting and warning
- Provide baseline design statistics for future coastal and marine planning projects
- Enable operational assistance in coastal construction projects
- Assist the monitoring of coastal processes such as beach erosion and sediment transport
- Provide validation of coastal wave hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics modelling
Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) practices are in place to provide high-quality marine
observations and to ensure the value and credibility of the data to users. Quality Assurance concerns
aspects such as the ch.....
