Additional information
This paper gave the first elucidation of the formation of finger-jets and their subsequent break-up into spray during the latter stages of wave breaking. The work presented has been extended by Southampton to a unique set of very small scale wave flume tests (DoI:10.1016/j.coastaleng.2011.05.009). Extension to the complete wave breaking process explains periodic, columnar structure in waves overtopping sea walls, leading to improvements in breakwater design. Our ERPE studies formed the basis of an international collaboration with Kyoto and Hokkaido Universities, Japan (JSPS 18760368 and 191243, EPSRC EP/K0044681/1).
