Аннотация:The structure of storm events means the character of the wave energy distribution in time over the storm period.The storm includes three principal phases: increase, stabilization and waning. At the phase of the storm increase thesediments are transported seaward, while during the storm waning part of the loose material returns to the foreshore(beach recovery). The resulting morphological effect of storm depends on both quantity of wave energy withinevery phases and distribution of different storm phases over the time. The post-storm relief in the coastal zonedepends heavily on the particularity of hydro- and lithodynamic processes during the storm waning phase.
