Rip Currents

Scientific T To examine the spatial and temporal variability of rip currents using remote video imaging techniques. T To quantify changes in nearshore circulation and topography in response to varying incident wave conditions at different time scales including; P wave groupiness (time scales of 1-10 minutes), P tidal modulation (time scales of 12h and 24 h) and P wave height fluctuations associ...

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...

RIP-chip enrichment analysis

MOTIVATION RIP-chip is a high-throughput method to identify mRNAs that are targeted by RNA-binding proteins. The protein of interest is immunoprecipitated, and the identity and relative amount of mRNA associated with it is measured on microarrays. Even if a variety of methods is available to analyse microarray data, e.g. to detect differentially regulated genes, the additional experimental step...

Rip 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...
