Influences of Spring Onshore and Offshore Winds on Wreck Beach

Abstract

The onshore and offshore wind power around the ocean indicate that winds are important meteorological phenomena in shaping weather patterns and influencing marine activities. This project endeavored to evaluate detailed evidence for how the onshore and offshore wind around the ocean will affect weather conditions and the maritime industry by studying the periodic variation of onshore and offshore wind. Specifically, focus on studying the cyclical variation of onshore and offshore wind during the spring of 2023. The measurements were conducted using a digital vane anemometer and flags as indicators. The findings of this study provide evidence of the prevailing relationship between onshore and offshore winds and their temporal and weather-related effects. This research highlights the critical role of wind variability in both ocean activities and the overall ecosystem.

Biographies

Ruodan (Cary) is interested in working toward the development of onshore and offshore wind power around the ocean. She focused on collecting the data while analyzing those data, especially the velocity and direction of those winds around the ocean.

Xiaomeng (Joy) is interested in the development and future of the atmosphere. The research focuses on the onshore and offshore winds near the beaches and is completed by recording the wind direction and speed of the beach and compiling and analyzing the data.

Natalia has a particular focus on atmospheric science, especially the variation of onshore and offshore wind direction and speed. Her research seeks to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex patterns and dynamics of onshore and offshore wind behaviour throughout the day.
