YOLO-Rip: A modified lightweight network for Rip currents detection
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Rip currents form on beaches worldwide and pose a potential safety hazard for beach visitors. Therefore, effectively identifying rip currents from beach scenes and providing real-time alerts to beach managers and beachgoers is crucial. In this study, the

Rip current knowledge: do people really know its danger? do lifeguards know more than the general public? [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Introduction: Drowning is a global problem. This so-called “silent killer” claims hundreds of thousands of lives every year around the world. Despite this, beaches are a fundamental space in the lives of many people throughout the world.

Unexpected rip currents induced by a meteotsunami [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractA tragic drowning event occurred along southeastern beaches of Lake Michigan on a sunny and calm July 4, 2003, hours after a fast-moving convective storm had crossed the lake. Data forensics indicates that a moderate-height (~0.3 m) meteotsunami was generated by the fast-moving storm impacting the eastern coast of the lake.

Surveying rip current survivors: preliminary insights into the experiences of being caught in rip currents [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 This paper begins a process of addressing a significant gap in knowledge about people's responses to being caught in rip currents. While rip currents are the primary hazard facing recreational ocean swimmers in Australia, debate exists about the best ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2013 Oceanic Rossby waves and eddies flux energy and fluid westward, the latter through the Stokes drift or bolus transport. While the wave energy is largely dissipated at the western boundary, mass conservation requires that the fluid be returned offshore through Rossby rip currents.

Vertical Distribution of Rip Currents Generated by Intersecting Waves in a Sandbar–Groin Systems
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringTo analyze the impacts of groins, sandbars, and channels on the three-dimensional features of rip currents, we conducted experimental investigations on the vertical distribution of rip currents under intersecting waves along barred beaches with channels.

Beachgoers' ability to identify rip currents at a beach in situ [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Rip currents (“rips”) are the leading cause of drowning on surf beaches worldwide. A major contributing factor is that many beachgoers are unable to identify rip currents. Previous research has attempted to quantify beachgoers' rip identification ability

A wave-resolving modeling study of rip current variability, rip hazard, and swimmer escape strategies on an embayed beach [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Drownings due to rip currents are a major threat to beach safety. In this study a high-resolution Boussinesq model with a modified wave-resolving Lagrangian tracking module has been applied to a 2 km long embayed beach, Dadonghai of Sanya, Hainan Island,
