Shear instabilities of the mean longshore current: 2. Field observations
TL;DR: In this article, a new wave with periods and alongshore wavelengths of the order of 102 seconds and meters, respectively, was observed in the surf zone and was consistent with a model of vorticity waves generated by the shear instability of the mean longshore current.
Observations of the swash expression of far infragravity wave motions
TL;DR: In this paper, the Super Duck experiment was used to detect very low frequency motions (10 -103 second periods) with anomalously short longshore wavelengths (102meters) with unstable perturbations of the mean longshore current that act to conserve potential vorticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of infragravity variance during a storm
TL;DR: In this article, data from an alongshore array of bidirectional current meters located in the surf zone were analyzed to provide estimates of the behavior of three bands of wave energy during the passage of a moderate storm.
