Energy transfer between wind waves and low‐frequency oscillations on a fringing reef, I pan, G uam

Field observations from a Guam fringing reef are used to examine the cross‐reef energy exchange between high‐frequency sea and swell (SS) and low‐frequency infragravity (IG) and far infragravity (fIG) waves. Energetic SS waves (significant wave heights 2–4 m) break at the outer reef, leading to weak...
