The Tsugaru Strait is one of four straits that connect the Sea of Japan to adjacent oceans. Flow dynamics in the Tsugaru Strait region are closely tied to the dynamics of the Tsushima Current, a branch of the Kuroshio that enters the Sea of Japan through the Korea Strait and exits through the Tsugaru and Soya Straits. This research concentrates on the dynamic interplay of the Tsushima Current and the ...
Tracer experiments were conducted on the Gulf Coast beach of Hurricane Island, Florida, to obtain information on sediment transfer between foreshore, trough, and bar topography. Concurrent measurements of waves and currents were collected. Along-shore transport of tracer released in the three topographic zones was greater than normal-to-shore movement, even when the angle between wave crests and the shoreline was small. Seaward movement of tracer placed in the trough and bar ...
