Wave set-up on coral reefs
1972
Momentum flux considerations give reasonably good predictions on the amount of wave-induced set-up to be expected on coral reefs. It is possible that water levels on the outer edge of sea-level reefs may be raised as much as 20% of the incident wave height above the mean water level just seaward of the reef. Such wave set-up can significantly affect circulation and sediment behavior in the coral reef environment.
