lime scale problems involved, dependent of environmental processes:
l wave effects - non lin:ar boundary land-sea on beach - micro scale
(1ongfcurrent(statistic, not real time) [sec - min)
rip - current)
D tidal effects- time dependent variability of water cove- micro-meso-
ring exposure macro scale
(sec-hour,day-month)
D vegetation-climatic P.ytime dependent spectral quality- macro-scale
(phenologie) (multitemporal) (month)
