The A team

Day 10 in the flume and another week down! The sea level has now risen an extra 0.2 m in total (SB2), meaning we had to make a shelter for us and our laptops! We're really starting to make ourselves as home here, thank you hydralab!

Sea level = 4.6 m
Wave height = 0.8 m
Wave period = 6.0 s
Our new office with protection! 
It's also getting extremely hot in here, the mucky flume is looking more and more inviting to jump in... Anyway, the profile is becoming more stable, the sand bar has stopped moving seaward and hopefully on Tuesday with another sea level rise we will see the bar migrate landwards. We are also still seeing beach face erosion and berm growth, as well as lots of mega ripples in the surf-zone, which can also be seen on the ripple profiler.

Finally, it's that dreaded time of the week where we had to say goodbye to two more of our team members, Daniel and Ozzy. We started this experiment with 11 people and we've now dwindled down to just 3, it's okay though we're an efficient team #ateam. So efficient we managed to finish a day ahead of schedule, meaning we can raise the sea level up another 10 cm on Tuesday. But until then we're going to take a little trip to Berlin and relax!
