Large-scale coastal behaviour is an attempt to model themorphodynamics ofcoastal change at time and space scales appropriate to management and prediction.[1][2] Temporally this is at thedecade tocentury scale, spatially at the scale of tens of kilometers.[2] It was developed by Huib J. de Vriend.[3]
Modelling large-scale coastal behaviour involves some level ofparameterisation rather than simply upscaling from process or downscaling from thegeological scale. It attempts to recognise patterns occurring at these scales. Cowell and Thom (2005) recognise the need to admit uncertainty in large-scale coastal behaviour given incomplete process knowledge.
