Seasonal Changes and Wave Climate. Figure 50 combines mean monthly wave height and period information obtained from Atlantic City and the Toms River Coast Guard Station (Fig. 1) for comparison. Of these sources, the gage data are considered more reliable although the visual observations provide important nearshore wave direction information. The gage data (Thompson and Harris*, 1972) were obtained from 7- minute pen-and-in
. Beach changes at Atlantic City, New Jersey (1962-73). Beach erosion; Coast changes. Figure 49. Profile changes along Atlantic City, 1936-48 (Beach Erosion Board, 1950). 2. Seasonal Changes and Wave Climate. Figure 50 combines mean monthly wave height and period information obtained from Atlantic City and the Toms River Coast Guard Station (Fig. 1) for comparison. Of these sources, the gage data are considered more reliable although the visual observations provide important nearshore wave direction information. The gage data (Thompson and Harris*, 1972) were obtained from 7- minute pen-and-ink records taken six times daily from a relay-type gage located on the seaward end of Steel Pier. The visual observations (made by local volunteers) include estimations of nearshore wave period, height, direction, and breaker type. The Cooperative Surf Observation Program (COSOP) data were also obtained visually by cooperating personnel from Coast Guard Stations at Atlantic City and Toms River. As shown in Figure 50, there is considerable variation between these sources of wave data. 50.
