Wave Breaking and Wave Driven Flow in the Nearshore
Understanding wave dissipation in the nearshore is approached through modeling of field observations obtained across a variety of beach profiles and under a wide range of wave conditions. Wave breaking data are obtained remotely from video recordings of the surf zone, and image processing techniques subsequently used to detect and quantify the position and time of wave breaking occurrences over...
متن کاملGravity wave breaking in two and three dimensions 1. Model description and comparison of twodimensional evolutions
A nonlinear, compressible, spectral collocation code is employed to examine gravity wave breaking in two and three spatial dimensions. Twodimensional results exhibit a structure consistent with previous efforts and suggest wave instability occurs via convective rolls aligned normal to the gravity wave motion (uniform in the spanwise direction). Three-dimensionM results demonstrate, in contrast,...
متن کاملGravity wave breaking in two and three dimensions 2. Threedimensional evolution and instability structure
A companion paper by Andreassen et M. (this issue) introduced and used a nonlinear, compressible, spectral collocation code to address the relative evolutions of two-dimensionM motions obtained in twoand three-dimensionM simulations of gravity wave breaking. That study illustrated the effects of instability on the wave field and mean flow evolution and suggested that two-dimensionM models are u...
متن کاملMap Harvest P 6 Gravity Wave Breaking : 2
One of the primary objectives of MAP was to understand the generation of gravity waves from high complex terrain, and the breakdown of those waves. Several weak to moderate gravity wave events during the MAP field phase were studied with a remarkable fleet of research aircraft equipped with GPS navigation, gust probes, dropsondes and downlooking LIDAR. These data sets have been carefully analyz...
متن کاملGravity Wave Generation and Breaking Observedwith Radiosondes at Ushuaia (argentina)
High resolution radiosondes that were launched at Ushuaia (54.8S) during October-December, 1995 are examined. Episodes of high gravity wave activity are found in the lower stratosphere (from 10 km to 24 km). The enhancement of gravity wave activity is ascribed to the conjuction of two factors: gravity wave generation and Doppler-shifting. Two radiosondes with high wave activity cases are examin...
