Detailed Description

The wavelength and height of wave generated ripples can be more accurately predicted with the method developed in the new manuscript, available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2022.105509.

A machine learning approach to predicting equilibrium ripple wavelength

Sand ripples are geomorphic features on the seafloor that affect bottom boundary layer dynamics including wave attenuation and sediment transport. We present a new equilibrium ripple predictor using a machine learning approach that outputs a probability distribution of wave-generated equilibrium wavelengths and statistics including an estimate of ripple height, the most probable ripple wavelength,
