A fluorescent tracer experiment, in conjunction with morphological and sedimentological data, demonstrates the Lagrangian sediment flux induced by storm waves and currents in a permanently submerged, outer crescentic nearshore bar system. The steady state bar form (height = 2.6 m, wavelength = 390 m) is maintained in the presence of landward sediment advection under asymmetric oscillatory flow during storm buildup and decay and seaward advection under rip-cell flows at the peak of the storm. The seaward displacement of the bar crest in the areas of the convex seaward crescent reflects transport associated with the rip current, which, though variable in its location through time, is never located over the landward projecting horns. The storm studied had a recurrence interval of approximately 1 month and reworked upwards of 16% of the bar sediments. The sediment flux indentified is therefore associated with an event of frequent occurrence and is most likely the control on both bar form and dynamics of the bar system.

Data of high spatial and temporal resolution, and a special sampling program are essential for successful application of mathematical models designed to reproduce observed seasonal patterns of temperature, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, pH, and algal biomass for both vertical and longitudinal gradients in a water body. Lake Kinneret suspended solids are of great potential value for estimating transport, exposure to water body elements, and fate of many toxic substances. Therefore the distribution of admixtures in two longitudinal and five vertical segmentation schemes were examined with the two-dimensional water body quality box model “BETTER” (Bender et al, 1990). The transects were taken in the north-western part of Lake Kinneret close to the Jordan River mouth and the National Water Carrier (NWC) head pumping station. The outflow volumes were given according to regular sampling of natural speed of water outflow from different lake layers under calm conditions. Temporal distribution of mixing concentrations as well as turbulent diffusion horizontal coefficients due to the spatial distribution of turbulent scale were obtained during the model's run with the December 1991 data.
