Here s What to Know About Rip Currents — and What You Can Do To Stay Safe In One

Here s What to Know About Rip Currents and What You Can Do To Stay Safe In One People 9 hrs ago © Provided by People Getty With summer just around the corner, more and more Americans are headed to the beach, where the often unknown dangers of rip currents lurk just below the surface of the ocean. While these common phenomena may not look like much from the sand, they can be deadly  especially if swimmers don t know how to handle them. An estimated 100 people are killed by rip currents each year, and rip currents account for more than 80 percent of rescues performed by surf beach lifeguards, according to the United States Lifesaving Association.

New NOAA tech can predict deadly rip currents

New NOAA tech can predict deadly rip currents article DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has built a new system to actually detect when deadly rip currents are likely to happen. We can forecast that every kilometer along shore, so covering the entire coastline, and then going every hour out to six days into the future, said Dr. Greg Dusek, a NOAA researcher. They use computer models to analyze wave and tidal patterns to make their predictions of whether or not rip currents will show up along a beach. So it relies on these computer models to make a prediction of rip currents at a specific location and instance in time, Dusek said.
