Responses of Swimmers Caught in Rip Currents: Perspectives on Mitigating the Global Rip Current Hazard [PDF]
International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education, 2011 Rip currents are a primary mechanism on many of the world’s beaches associated with rescues and drownings and have long been the focus of beachgoer education and awareness strategies. Traditional approaches to mitigating the rip current hazard typically provide information on escape procedures for beachgoers caught in a rip current.

Interpretable Deep Learning Applied to Rip Current Detection and Localization
Remote Sensing, 2022 A rip current is a strong, localized current of water which moves along and away from the shore. Recent studies have suggested that drownings due to rip currents are still a major threat to beach safety.
