Conceptual illustration of storm composite inferring from shoreline observations. Stars indicate shoreline positions at each satellite revisit. Circles represent the average of three revisits, used as a monthly estimate. Black dashed lines show reconstructed trajectories derived from these averages, while the colored curves correspond to the actual shoreline evolution in real time (not fully captured by the satellite). In the lower panel, squares mark the mean of the three reconstructed trajectories, illustrating the statistical superposition process leading to the storm composite. The robustness of the reconstructed storm imprint on shoreline position increase with the number of storm aggregated.
