Resumen

Optimización del espaciado del perfil de playa: una herramienta aplicada para el seguimiento costero. – Se presenta una metodología sencilla para, una vez admitido un cierto error relativo, determinar la separación máxima (i.e. un coste mínimo) entre los perfiles del seguimiento de una playa. El error puede calcularse teóricamente mediante la comparación de datos de diferentes separaciones obtenidos de dos batimetrías consecutivas. En algunos casos, cuando se realiza un proyecto de realimentación o se conoce el balance de arena de una playa (debido a seguimientos previos), puede diseñarse una batimetría virtual, bastando entonces con una única batimetría real. El método se analiza para diferentes tipos de playa dependiendo de su naturaleza morfológica, mareal y energética, así como otras características. Los resultados indican que el error estimado es también proporcional a un factor de heterogeneidad característico de cada playa, de tal manera que grandes separaciones no conllevan necesariamente grandes errores. En nuestro caso, separaciones de 100 m inducen errores inferiores al 5%. Además, en cuanto a la carrera de marea y a la existencia de lajas rocosas, los resultados no parecen mostrar diferencias
