Abstract
Longshore sediment transport characteristics of the Kerala coast have been examined to delineate various physical processes affecting the di fferent coastal environments. Monthly averages of the daily LEO (Litto ral Environmental Observation) data for one year made at each station have been used for this study. Monthly longshore sediment transport ra tes showed high variability in the sediment transport mechanism.
