“MOP” Sites
- 10m water depth.- 100m alongshore spacing.
CA Counties with Operational MOP Wave Information
Each MOP Site also has an associated cross-shore MOPTransect and MOP Polygon.
Predicted surfzone averaged alongshore currentswill be provided for each MOP transect on a relatively straight beach without obstructions. A seasonalcross-shore bathymetry profile is assumed if thereis no recent survey data.

MOP Site Inundation
Predicted Inundation Elevations will be providedfor transects with simpleshoreline profiles

Each MOP Polygon contains a set of MOP Sandboxes.

A data-adaptive cross-shore radiation stress (Sxx) model will provide beach change predictions for MOP Polygons with sufficient beach survey information.
