Abstract

FUCELLA and DOLAN (1996) revisit an interesting data set on subaerial beach change measured during 1963 and 1964 at Nags Head, North Carolina. They also make frequent reference to a paper by NICHOLLS and ORLANDO (1993) which outlines a new approach to measuring the maximum depth of disturbance on a subaerial beach during storms. They contrast the two methods used and make a number of comments on the approach of Nicholls and Orlando. This discussion considers the relative merits of the two approaches.
