Beach Safety, Physical Oceanography, and Wave Modeling

Herausgeber: Leatherman, Stephen; Fletemeyer, John

Beschreibung

An examination of advances in rip current research, this book provides a better understanding of the dynamics, mechanisms, and predictability of rip currents. A practical guide, it bridges the gap between rip current science and the implementation of appropriate public safety education. Coverage includes rip current prediction and modeling; case studies from the UK, Brasil, the United States, and Japan; rip currents in the Great Lakes; public safety procedures; the legal implications of rip current drowning; and more.
