3.2.4. Hybrid models
Hybrid models consist of shoreline evolution models that combine cross-shore and longshore sediment transport which are applicable on scales from days to decades. They are models of reduced complexity, with a reasonable computational cost, that assume a series of simplifying assumptions following the needs of the study. Examples of such models are the pioneering CosMos-COAST (Vitousek et al., 2017), IH-LANS (Alvarez-Cuesta et al., 2021), COCOONED (Antolinez et al., 2019) and IH-MOOSE (Jaramillo et al., 2021b). These hybrid models adopt several simplifying assumptions that allow coastline change calculations, considering both processes efficiently.
The following model is the hybrid model included in IH-SET.
