Abstract

This study was carried out to survey for morphological change of lower tidal flat near Byunsan-Gosapo beach using single-beam echosounder and sound velocity profiler. Since October 2009 in the center of the region, the erosion occurred about 10~50cm, while either side of the study area is little change. Erosion occurred at the beach, each beach area in the southwest area rather than further accumulation occurred sandbank formed. Observed in the study area near the center of the erosion is the result of ongoing changes that were temporarily due to seasonal changes is not clear. However, the northwestward waves were expected to be a major source of erosion. Because of this, continue to observe the terrain and the local ocean circulation studies will be required.
