mhabich Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 We'll meet at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters (across from Audubon at Joppa Flats, on the road to Plum Island)...after we've all tested for Covid in the morning. Come at noon to have your lunch, socialize, and talk about the birds you saw in the morning if you like. Talk starts no later than 1 PM. We'll be out with the doors locked behind us by 4. We’ll learn the physical causes of waves, tides, and currents, and might find out: Why do waves come in sets? Why are the waves on some beaches always dumping? Rip current…friend or foe? Why is the water so rough around headlands? Why does a 12 second wave have 4x the energy of a 6 second wave? Why is the tide 50 minutes later each day? Why is there a bigger and a smaller tide each day…sometimes? Why are the tides so big in the Bay of Fundy? Lots of drawings and graphs, few equations (all avoidable). After the presentation we’ll have an open discussion of strategies to deal with waves and currents as a kayaker, where to get predictions, and rules for interpolation. This event is open to paid club members only. Please RSVP on the calendar here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudenceb Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Sounds great, Mike. Once again…could we ask folks to please test that morning, and obviously, if positive, stay home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverseyourself Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Would love to attend Mike. The best NSPN programs always coincide with work weekends for me. Is there a chance for a second talk on the subject at another time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick crangle Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Thank you Mike for the very thoughtful and comprehensive view of tide and waves. Well put together illustrations and data for each of your concepts. I think folks got a lot out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcotton Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Thanks Mike for a great presentation. The slides and all the in-depth information you put together was wonderful. I’m hoping some of it sunk it. Thanks to all the board too for securing great space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
