Field Evidence of Inverse Energy Cascades in the Surfzone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Low-frequency currents and eddies transport sediment, pathogens, larvae, and heat along the coast and between the shoreline and deeper water. Here, low-frequency currents (between 0.1 and 4.0 mHz) observed in shallow ...
Current Meter Performance in the Surf Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Statistics of the nearshore velocity field in the wind?wave frequency band estimated from acoustic Doppler, acoustic travel time, and electromagnetic current meters are similar. Specifically, current meters deployed 25?100 ...
Comparison of Rip Current Hazard Likelihood Forecasts with Observed Rip Current Speeds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAlthough rip currents are a major hazard for beachgoers, the relationship between the danger to swimmers and the physical properties of rip current circulation is not well understood. Here, the relationship between ...
Radar Remote Sensing Estimates of Waves and Wave Forcing at a Tidal Inlet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he time and space variability of wave transformation through a tidal inlet is investigated with radar remote sensing. The frequency of wave breaking and the net wave breaking dissipation at high spatial resolution is ...
