Video 2: A webcam situated about Tancha bay has caught the interesting dynamics between the tidal currents and the wind over the last few months. Wind- and current-induced motions are often acting at the same time and can be in similar directions, opposite, or anything in between. This video appeared in the article “The pumice around Okinawa: How long will it last and where will it go?”. See “The pumice around Tancha bay: Video 1” for the first video.
