Scaling surf zone turbulence
[1] Turbulence in the surf zone, the shallow region adjacent to the shoreline, has a key role in beach erosion, fertilization, dispersal, and larval settlement of marine invertebrates, and microbial contamination dilution in beach waters. Breakingwave generated (the dominant source) surf zone turbulence is understood poorly. A new surf zone turbulent dissipation rate scaling is derived, that co...
متن کاملObservations of nearshore circulation: Alongshore uniformity
[1] Nearshore circulation, observed for 4 months on a 200-m-long stretch of natural beach during the SandyDuck field experiment, is shown to be alongshore uniform. An alongshore momentum balance between (wind and wave) forcing and bottom stress, cross-shore integrated between the shoreline and approximately 4 m water depth, holds on each of five instrumented cross-shore transects (skill 0.87). ...
متن کاملObservations of surf infrasound in Hawai‘i
[1] Comparison of ocean buoy measurements with infrasonic array data collected during the epic winter of 2002–2003 shows a clear relationship between breaking ocean wave height and infrasonic signal levels. In addition, infrasonic arrays allow the identification of distinct breaking zones along the shoreline. Our observations suggest that infrasonic measurements can be used in conjunction with ...
متن کاملRadar Measurement of Waves and Currents in the Nearshore Zone
The objectives of this effort are to determine the extent to which Doppler radar techniques can be exploited for both qualitative and quantitative nearshore measurement applications. Of particular interest are estimates of surf zone location, extent, surface currents, and wave parameters. To date, optical (video) techniques have been the primary remote sensing technology for these applications....
متن کاملUpwelling source depth in the presence of nearshore wind stress curl
[1] The influence of nearshore wind stress curl on the relative partitioning of bottom boundary layer (BBL) and interior transport within an idealized, two-dimensional coastal upwelling system is studied theoretically and using a numerical model. A nearshore reduction in upwelling favorable wind stress amplitude (1) reduces the width of the inner shelf, (2) reduces the local wind-driven Ekman t...
