Contaminant transport in the surf zone
Oceanologia, 2022 Dispersion of dissolved contaminants introduced at various locations within and just outside the surf zone are investigated. It is shown that the Longuet-Higgins model of surf-zone hydrodynamics adequately describes the distribution of longshore currents

Bather Shedding as a Source of Human Fecal Markers to a Recreational Beach
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Microbial source tracking (MST) can identify and locate surf zone fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) sources. However, DNA-based fecal marker results may raise new questions, since FIB and DNA marker sources can differ.

MORPHODYNAMIC INSTABILITIES IN THE SURF ZONE [PDF]
Coastal Engineering 2004, 2005 The bed forms in the surf zone can grow as a result of natural morphodynamic instabilities, forced by the wave-induced flow. This work gives a contribution to the dynamics of the formation and evolution the bed forms in surf zone. We use the new morphodynamic model, M-SHORECIRC, to analyze the growth and dynamics of bar-type, rhythmic, bed forms of a ...

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.

Oil Transport in Surf Zone [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2000 Oil transport subjected to nearshore currents in the surf zone is considered using the mass conservation equation. Analytical solutions are obtained that describe the longshore distribution of oil deposition, as well as the length of the shoreline contaminated by oil slicks transported in the nearshore environment.

Scientia Marina, 2010 Large beach cusps (LBC, wavelength of ~ 30 m) are intertidal features that can alternately exist in the swash and in the inner surf zone due to tidal sea level changes. They have a larger cross-shore extent (up to 50 m) than traditional cusps.

Scientia Marina, 2021 The southern population of Mugil liza is distributed from Argentina (47°S) to the state of São Paulo, Brazil (23°S). Young mullets use the estuaries as nursery grounds, and prior to recruitment into estuaries they use the surf zone as a temporary habitat.

The ‘surf zone’ in the stratosphere
Journal of Atmospheric and Terrestrial Physics, 1984 Abstract Synoptic, coarse-grain, isentropic maps of Ertel's potential vorticity Q for the northern middle stratosphere, estimated using a large-Richardson-number approximation, are presented for a number of days in January–February 1979, together with some related isentropic trajectory calculations The effects of substituting FGGE for NMC base data ...
