| Figure 24. Mobility ratio (table 2, metric 5) in the northern Gulf of Mexico alongshore Alabama and Florida for a midlevel threshold of 2.5-centimeter (cm) surface residual balls (SRBs; table 1) along the Gulf Islands National Seashore (east of Pensacola Pass, Florida) for wave scenario H5_D1, corresponding to waves observed at NDBC buoy 42040 of height greater than 2 meters and coming from a north-northeasterly direction (fig. 2). Where the mobility ratio exceeded 1 (in pink) mobility of 2.5-cm SRBs was indicated at locations along the back-barrier from northerly wind-waves locally generated behind the barrier. | ||
