Field Observations of Surf Zone–Inner Shelf Exchange on a Rip-Channeled Beach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ross-shore exchange between the surf zone and the inner shelf is investigated using Lagrangian and Eulerian field measurements of rip current flows on a rip-channeled beach in Sand City, California. Surface drifters released ...
Bathymetry Estimation Using Drifter-Based Velocity Measurements on the Kootenai River, Idaho
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: elocity measurements from drifter GPS records are used in an ensemble-based data assimilation technique to extract the river bathymetry. The method is tested on a deep meandering reach and a shallow braided reach of the ...
Statistics of Internal Tide Bores and Internal Solitary Waves Observed on the Inner Continental Shelf off Point Sal, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMoored observations of temperature and current were collected on the inner continental shelf off Point Sal, California, between 9 June and 8 August 2015. The measurements consist of 10 moorings in total: 4 moorings ...
Heating of the Midshelf and Inner Shelf by Warm Internal Tidal Bores
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cross-shore heat flux (CHF) spatiotemporal variability in the subtidal (ST), diurnal (DU), and semidiurnal (SD) bands is described for 35 days (summer 2015) from collocated vertical measures of temperature and currents ...
Surfzone Monitoring Using Rotary Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the potential of rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to monitor the surfzone. This paper shows that these UAVs are extremely flexible surveying platforms that can gather near-continuous ...
Alongshore Variability of Shoaling Internal Bores on the Inner Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and velocity measurements from 42 moorings were used to investigate the alongshore variability of nonlinear internal bores as they propagated across the central California inner shelf. Moorings were deployed ...
