    In the area of prediction of the reshaped profile of slopes, Popov (1960) [13] investigated the stable slopes in coastal area by means of physical modeling. The stability of reshaped profile in rubble mound breakwaters with rock or concrete cube armors was studied by Priest et al. (1964) [14]. Van der Meer (1992) released the first version of his computer software, named "BREAKWAT [15]", in order to predict the reshaped profile in berm breakwaters. According to the studies performed by Lykke Anderson

    below sea level remained colder than that at a 50-meter deepth. The water temperature at 200 meters below sea level remained ≈10±2 °C lower than that of the other two depth temperatures. From August 1 to August 15, the temperatures at 50, 100, and 200-meter depths remained mostly constant with no more than ≈1°C variations. A second consistency between the three depths was that all three graphs have positive slopes, from September 12 to September 26, which became negative from September 26 to October
