Abstract: The ability to obtain accurate predictions of sand transport on beaches represent high social, environmental and economical stakes. In order to improve parametric sand transport models, the link between the free stream velocity and sand transport processes in the Wave Boundary Layer (WBL) need to be further investigated. The present work reports on the first deployment of a UB-Lab 3C ©Ubertone (based on Acoustic Concentration and Velocity Profiler technology, Hurther et al., 2011) in situ at Porsmilin Beach, Brittany, France, in 2023, with the aim to study Wave Boundary Layer hydrodynamics and sediment transport properties under real coastal waves.
