Wave-Induced Distribution of Microplastic in the Surf Zone [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 In this study, the wave-induced distribution of 13 microplastic (MP) samples of different size, shape, and density was investigated in a wave flume with a sandy mobile beach bed profile.

Quantifying Optically Derived Two-Dimensional Wave-Averaged Currents in the Surf Zone
Remote Sensing, 2021 Complex two-dimensional nearshore current patterns are generated by feedbacks between sub-aqueous morphology and momentum imparted on the water column by breaking waves, winds, and tides.

Shortwave Sand Transport in the Shallow Surf Zone. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Earth Surf, 2018 Empirical parameterizations of the shortwave sand transport that are used in practical engineering models lack the representation of certain processes to accurately predict morphodynamics in shallow water. Therefore, measurements of near‐bed velocity and

Surf Zone Turbulence and Suspended Sediment Dynamics—A Review
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The existence of sandy beaches relies on the onshore transport of sand by waves during post-storm conditions. Most operational sediment transport models employ wave-averaged terms, and/or the instantaneous cross-shore velocity signal, but the models ...

Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984 The on-offshore and the vertical components u, w of the velocity in a surf zone on a uniformly sloping beach in a wave tank were measured simultaneously with a laser-doppler velocimeter under two conditions. The time variation of the Reynolds stress -u'w' during one wave period is discussed.

SEASONAL EVALUATION OF THE CONDITION FACTOR IN A SURF-ZONE ASSEMBLAGE FROM SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL
Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2019 The surf zone is a highly dynamic environment subject to seasonal fluctuations which could impose restrictions to the development of juvenile fish. The allometric condition factor index (K) provides a value of ‘well-being’ for fish, been used to compare ...

Environmental controls on surf zone injuries on high-energy beaches [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 The two primary causes of surf zone injuries (SZIs) worldwide, including fatal drowning and severe spinal injuries, are rip currents (rips) and shore-break waves. SZIs also result from surfing and bodyboarding activity.

Wave-Tracking in the Surf Zone Using Coastal Video Imagery with Deep Neural Networks
Atmosphere, 2020 In this paper, we propose a series of procedures for coastal wave-tracking using coastal video imagery with deep neural networks. It consists of three stages: video enhancement, hydrodynamic scene separation and wave-tracking.
