Wave run SB4


Test SB4 1 to 11 is now complete, and it shows some interesting results; the beach face is eroding, apart from the final 3 hour run where SB4-11 shows accretion (fig.1). However, as expected the sand bar is slowly migrating landwards, with a significant difference again in SB4-11 (purple). On the whole though the bar doesn't seem to be moving much! 
Apart from this all the instruments are running smoothly, we're having slight issues with the vectrinos being buried in the sediment, so every now and again one of us jumps into the murky waters in the flume and adjusts the rigs. 
There's also been some casualties, myself and Emily managed to both break our glasses! Luckily mine were fixable, however Emily's were not... May they rest in peace.
