“…This brings about meandering tidal flow patterns, tidal ebb and flood channels and, consequently, development of sandbanks at intersecting locations (Ibid.). The flow patterns described above coincide with circulation patterns observed by Robinson, (1966) in field studies using drogue runs, tracers and current meters.…”

“…In the study region this is a flood residual flowing northwards (Robinson, 1966). The relationship between the tidal residual and forcing remains uncertain and is still a topic under investigation.…”

“…The tidal current velocities vary spatially across the domain. Maximum tidal speeds observed for the area beyond Corton Shoal, approximately 6km offshore, are about 1.75m/s on spring tides and 1.23m/s on neap tides (Robinson, 1966). Further inshore in the Yarmouth Roads maximum speeds that occur are 1.18m/s and 0.77m/s for the spring and neap tides respectively (Ibid).…”

“…In the study area the flood stream runs approximately north to south, and the ebb flows roughly south to north. Asymmetries are observed between the flood and ebb tidal flows, which also vary with the type of the tide (Robinson, 1966, Huthnance, 1973. However there is an overall ebb dominance and a tidal residual in a north to northeast direction (Cooper et al, 2008).…”

This paper investigates the morphological history of a sandbank system from the 19 th century to the present and evaluates the applicability of a new data-driven method for morphological modelling that accounts for multi-dimensional spatial relationships. Trend analyses of point locations, profile transects and contours were carried out to investigate the morphological evolution of the domain, while the spatial regression model was used for modelling. Results from the trend analysis indicate there is a constant northern migration of the sandbank features. Furthermore the physical extents of the banks are increasing in the alongshore direction. Sandbank features are also observed to have recurring horizontal movement patterns, which occur on a multi-decadal periodicity. The lateral movement is seen to relate to changing bank configurations and coincide with channel formation and disappearance at the 10m contour. Predictions with the spatial regression model show it represents the behaviour inherent in the data and system, demonstrated by the prediction RMSE being less than the mean seabed variability. In addition, the model predicts bed depth to an accuracy of ±0.25m on the top of the banks or where the gradient of the seabed is shallow. However, where there is a large change in depth over a short distance the prediction error is increased.

“…This is partially due to the fact that the tidal nature of the regime has produced a system of mutually-evasive ebb and flood channels, as originally described by VAN VEEN (1936) and by such later workers as ROBINSON (1960ROBINSON ( , 1966.…”
