Summary	The objective of this proposal is to observe the 3D current circulation of rip channel/shoal systems in the nearshore. A combination of Eularian, Langrangian and remote sensing methods will be used by NPS faculty and collaborators at a site within Monterey Bay that maintains incised rip channels in the surf zone. A parallel modeling effort will extend the delft 3D nearshore circulation model to include vertical structure effects. This model is being transitioned as the new Navy Surfzone Circulation Model.
