Depth of Closure given Volume per unit Length of Shoreline Formula Elements

Variables
Depth of Closure
Depth of Closure for a characteristic time interval is the most landward depth seaward of which there is no significant change in bottom elevation.
Symbol: Dc
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Volume per unit Length of Shoreline
Volume per unit Length of Shoreline is the volume of sediment contained within a cross-sectional area of the beach, per unit length along the shoreline.
Symbol: V
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Beach Width
Beach Width is the horizontal distance from the shoreline to a specific point inland which can vary greatly depending on factors such as tide, season, and human intervention.
Symbol: W
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
