Bingchen Liu has published his work, “Scaling Breaking-Wave Vorticity Generation in the Surfzone” in JPO. This paper brings me BACK. In 2014, we ran hundreds of these funwaveC wave-resolving surfzone simulations. I used the results to see how wave directional spread controlled bulk estimates of offshore transport due to rip currents. The model outputs also came in handy here and there for several years, but have “stayed on the shelf” until recently. Bingchen deserves a huge congratulations and thank you for bringing these results back in style. His analysis here brings us one step closer to incorporating wave-resolved vorticity forcing into the wave-averaged modeling world.
