Morphodynamics of tidal inlets in a tropical monsoon area

Morphodynamics of a tidal inlet system on a micro-tidal coast in a tropical monsoon influenced region is modelled and discussed. Influences of river flow and wave climate on the inlet morphology are investigated with the aid of process-based state-of-the-art numerical models. Seasonal and episodic behaviour of the inlet system under the influence of the forcing processes is then described, modelled and explained.
