RCEX: Rip Current Experiment
The long-term goals are to understand surf zone processes related to rip current systems through field observations. Rip currents occur commonly on most beaches and dominate many. It is recognized that beaches with straight and parallel contours are not a stable morphologic configuration whereas more complex beaches, which support the existence of rip current morphology, are stable and more com...
متن کاملRip current review
Rip currents are shore-normal, narrow, seaward-flowing currents that originate within surf zone, extend seaward of the breaking region (rip head), and can obtain relatively high velocities. Within the last decade, there have been a significant number of laboratory and field observations within rip current systems. An overview of rip current kinematics based on these observations and the scienti...
متن کاملAirborne Radar Observations of Non-drizzling Marine Stratocumulus
As part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus-II (DYCOMS-II) experiment in July 2001, nighttime observations were made in the vicinity of 31°N latitude and 122°W longitude. Main features of the study are given by Stevens et al, 2003. Observations were made with the NSF/NCAR C-130 aircraft carrying cloud physics probes, aerosol and trace gas (O3, DMS) instrumentation, the SABL li...
متن کاملOn the Variety of Internal Wave Radar Observations in the Ocean. 2. Rip-like Signatures
In the accompanying paper (part 1. Slick-like signatures) we describe and present results of a recent classification scheme for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signatures of internal waves (IWs) that has been proposed based on the analysis of ERS SAR images of the Iberian shelf zone. According to this classification IWs display three different signatures depending on the parameters of surface-ac...
متن کاملIntegrating Marine Radar Observations into Nearshore Modeling Systems
The long-range goal of this research is to extend the scientific basis for extracting environmental information regarding the nearshore ocean from remote sensing data. In particular, we seek to quantify how both optical and remote sensors image the breaking of waves in shallow water. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this project are as follows: 1. Assemble a marine radar wave observation system sui...
