1. Jason-3 Satellite Altimetry Significant Wave Height Overlaid on Wavewatch III Wave Model: The Jason-3 satellite measures significant wave height accurate to within 4.2 centimeters

2. And the wave height doubles after the channel width has gradually been reduced by a factor four.

3. A 100-meter belt of mangroves, for example, can reduce wave height by up to 66% and lower peak water levels during floods.

4. The Alongshore current in the inner surf zone is directed northward for both events, extending over 600 m from shore at the time corresponding to the peak significant wave height

5. Since 9 December 2011, the NOAA/NESDIS Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry has been producing Level-2 near-real-time ocean wind speed, wave height, and sea surface height anomaly data from the European Space Agency's CryoSat mission.

6. Cross-shore and Alongshore velocities were measured over five high tide cycles in the swash and inner surf zones of a dissipative beach (significant wave height between 0.5 and 1.65 m; water levels between 0 and 0.87 m) using acoustic and electromagnetic current meters
