Abstract:

"Drawing on lifeguard expertise and artificial intelligence, researchers are improving rip current forecasting for beachgoers nationwide." The mere existence of rip currents doesn't necessarily spell danger. An ultimate goal of researchers is for beachgoers to be able to point their smartphones while on the beach and be alerted to potential rip currents.
