  • Depth-dependence of surf zone eddies : a study at Duck, NC

    Creator:
    Aiken, Rebecca A.
    Abstract:
    Surf zone eddies (f < 0.01 Hz) are important in nearshore mixing, shoreline erosion, the distribution of pollutants, and ecological processes, such as offshore transport of larvae. Surf zone eddies have traditionally been treated as two-dimensional features with horizontal length scales larger than the local water depth. Studies by Lippmann...
