Rip Currents: Beach Safety, Physical Oceanography, and Wave
Modeling is the culmination of research from over 100 coastal
scientists, engineers, forecast meteorologists, lifeguard chiefs,
and other practitioners from around the world who participated in
the 1st International Rip Current Symposium. These experts identify
advancements in research that will lead to a better understanding
of the dynamics, mechanisms, and predictability of these dangerous
currents, and lower the number of rip current drownings. Edited by
Stephen Leatherman and John Fletemeyer, the book covers: The full
spectrum of rip current research and outreach initiatives on all
four U.S. coasts (Atlantic, Gulf, Pacific, and Great Lakes) as well
as the countries of Brazil, U.K., Japan, and Australia Scientific
techniques used to study rip currents including field investigation
and numerical modeling Field research involving the use of
water-based sensors, video technology, and remote sensing The
development of public education programs through various outreach
programs and campaigns as well as an evaluation of their overall
effectiveness Rip Currents' sixteen chapters run the gamut from
technical aspects of rip currents to beach safety management
strategies. Whether dealing with determining rip current
occurrence, hydrodynamic processes, prediction, or mitigating rip
current hazards to enhance beach safety, each chapter provides a
vignette that is distinct in its own right but also linked to or
integrated with other chapters in the book. This comprehensive
treatment presents an integrated, international perspective on a
coastal process that is only now becoming better understood by the
scientific community, and which has great importance to public
safety on the world's beaches.
