Abstract
The Working Group on Shallow Water Kinematics (WGSWK) defined “shallow water” as extending from the conventional deepwater limit, h/Lo = 0,5, to the shoreline. A decision was made to focus on the needs for the next two or so decades with criteria of methodology and data required by the designer and a generally improved understanding of the phenomena related to shallow water kinematics. Although of importance, wave hindcasting was not considered as within the Group’s scope. Finally, in order to provide focus to our recommendations, only six problem areas have been selected for emphasis.
