“…Wave setup tends to be the dominant process, particularly at coastal locations adjacent to shore-parallel reef crests such as the Mulinu'u Peninsula. At such locations, the results presented here closely approximate a number of analytic/empirical solutions of wave setup which assume straight and parallel alongshore topography and wave conditions, e.g., [8,43,44]. In particular, water levels within several hundred meters shoreward of the reef crest fronting the Mulinu'u Peninsula (e.g., the "reef" location) simulated by the wave forcing ensemble are within approximately 10 centimetres of the solution described by Becker et al [44], which is plotted for comparison with model output in Figure 9.…”

“…This is because the depthintegrated transport of water through the reef system is proportional to wave-driven setup at the reef crest, which, in turn, is proportional to the square root of the onshore wave energy flux (Gourlay and Colleter 2005;Lowe et al 2009). Following a similar approach, we related differences between daily-averaged temperatures at each reef site and offshore SST (DT) to the net daily heat flux across the airsea boundary and offshore wave conditions according to…”

“…The Hydrodynamic Modelling of Reefal BaysPlacing Coral Reefs at the Center of Bay Circulation 157 large range of combinations of reef types, shapes, tidal environments and wave climates makes all existing analyses of wave-generated flow on coral reefs limited in their applications (Gourlay & Colleter, 2005). Instrument-measured field data, however, confirm that the wave dynamics is responsible for a significant proportion of the reefal lagoon/bay hydrodynamics (Symonds et al, 1995;Hearn, 1999Hearn, , 2001.…”

“…The maximum set-up on the reef top is proportional to the excess wave height (Hearn, 2001). The set-up creates the pressure gradient required to drive the wave-generated flow across the reef (Gourlay & Colleter, 2005). Friction coefficients are also important to consider and so these are presented as large values in recognition of the great roughness of reefs (Symonds et al, 1995).…”
