Ongoing expansion of the local validation process to Fire Island Inlet, Jones Inlet, and
Coney Island will offer opportunity to asses the capability of simulating waves on the
regional and local scales. Plans are in place to continue the effort through the measurement
period and to enhance the results in areas such as tidal inlets where the tidal current, wave-
induced current, and wave-current interaction are strong factors controlling the transport of
sediment and morphology coastal morphology, and thus controlling the regional sediment
processes.
