Thank you so much - the lengthy reply suits my scientist mind! (Chemist trained, but worked across a lot of disciplines) This makes so much sense to me. Thanks again!! 😀
Note that sometimes the "ripples" are larger - but never when the tide's coming in! Sometimes it looks like they almost have "foam" on them. Also, we're a good 10km from the river mouth.
Have posted a photo. Note that the "disturbance" isn't as great today as it sometimes is...
For those who asked for a photo - it's the horizontal "line" across the river I'm asking about. Note that I took the photo "upriver" from the mouth and the tide is going out currently (ie in the opposite direction to those horizontal ripples). Hence my "itch"
Happy to post a photo tomorrow when it's daylight. I also didn't want to "clog" things up by putting too much info using several posts initially. Actually it might end up being a short video to show the effect better. Thanks to all who reposted and/or "liked" to get my request out...
Any hydrologists on here as I have a scientific itch that needs scratching!! I moved 3.5 years ago and now my balcony overlooks part of the Nerang River. There is something obviously on the riverbed that causes an interesting surface phenomenon. I want to know what it is!! Help pls - google no help
Thank you!
For those of us neophytes, how do we provide ALT text please??
