Synopsis

This book presents a thorough study of radioisotopic sand tracer data collected by the Coastal Engineering Research Center as a part of the Radioisotopic Sand Tracer (RIST) study. The RIST study sought to develop and use radioactive tracers for research in sand movement and littoral processes. This book in particular focuses on the data collected at Surf, California, in September and October 1968 and in February and June 1969. The author presents two computer programs, RAPLOT II and RAPLOT III, developed for the processing and graphical display of the data. RAPLOT II was used to process the data collected in 1967 at Point Conception, California; RAPLOT III modified RAPLOT II to run on an IBM 7094 computer and to produce plots on the Stromberg Carlson 4020 cathode ray tube. Both programs were used to generate trackline plots and plots of corrected radiation values that were instrumental in supporting subsequent field tests at Point Mugu and Point Conception. Altogether, this volume serves as a valuable resource for any scientist or engineer interested in sediment transport and related topics.
