The phrase "offshore bar" is grammatically correct and commonly used in written English.
It refers to a submerged or partially submerged sandbar offshore, typically found in coastal areas and often marked by breaking waves. Example: "The picturesque beach was lined with an offshore bar, creating an ideal spot for surfing and swimming."
The coast of the North Sea continues the type familiar in the northern Netherlands; an offshore bar, crowned with sand dunes, has been shattered and left as the chain of the East Frisian Islands off the coast of Lower Saxony and the North Frisian Islands off the Schleswig-Holstein portion of the Jutland peninsula.
Cant (1992) classified symmetrical gamma ray log motif as a sandy offshore bar.
Infragravity waves contribute to larger sediment entrainment and more offshore bar development.
Depositionally Mangahewa reservoir is a combination of stacked tidal channels, shoreface sands, lagoonal mudstones and offshore bar deposits.
The sands show serrated and symmetrical gamma-ray log motifs and are suggestive of storm-dominated shelf and rework offshore bar.
This sandy interval shows a rework offshore bar; it consists of symmetrical (hour glass -shaped sand unit, deposited duringlass -shapednor sandlevel fall and rise.
The energies of the currents may be sufficient to erode shallow channels through offshore bars, and the water may be discoloured by suspended sand.
Most are coastal or pelagic during the nonbreeding season, returning to breed in large colonies on islands, offshore bars, isolated beaches, or on Arctic tundra.
Apotsos et al. (2011) attributed the formation of large offshore bars to collisions of the backwash flows and the up-rushing waves.
Offshore bars and reworked sand facies are positioned on the outskirts of the paleoshoreline having NE SW that gradually move toward north from older deeper to younger shallower layers of the 3D model.
Tidal channel bodies and estuarine scouring were clearly evident in the model and situated in the southwestern region of the model, and lagoonal bodies and associated facies were observed mainly in the northeast section and offshore bars and reworked sand facies were positioned on the outskirts of the paleoshoreline.
