- Effect of El Niño on the subaerial beach Playas de Rosarito, B.C., Mexico R. Lizárraga Arciniega A. Martínez Díaz de León E. Gil Silva T. Mendoza Ponce A. Chee Barragán Ciencias de la Tierra El Niños storm waves Beach erosion Baja California Extensive beaches located near the Mexico-USA border play an important role in the economy of the city of Playas deRosarito, Mexico. Intense beach erosion occurred during the winter 1998 as a result of a very energetic wave regime associated toENSO-El Niño event, in combination with high water levels. The severity of these conditions caused flooding and destruction ofseveral houses on the beach. Recreational and protection capabilities of the beach were severely diminished. Profile comparisonshowed that maximum volume of sand removed from the subaerial beach was 66.9x10-3 m3/m/day with an average recession of2.3 m/day. The maximum shoreward displacement along the study period was 66 m. The profile height was up to 3.5 m lower thanthe initial profile, so a long period of mild wave conditions is needed to restore the initial profile height. The role played by thehighly mobile gravel deposit along the northern portion of the study area need to be assessed. 2003 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56842313 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.3 Vol.42
