After drawing up the refraction diagrams for variable incident waves at the famous surf-riding points in East Shikoku, it was found that the wave convergence and the peel angle (refraction angle at breaking point) were important factors at surfriding.Further, the characteristics of breakers and their peel velocity were measured at straight reef models exposed obliquely in the incident waves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
