ui = u-uw-ut-uo-ua
This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Oscillatory Flow due to Infragravity Waves - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Oscillatory Flow due to Infragravity Waves is composed of motions at many scale, forced by several processes and is interconnected by various components.
Total Current in the Surf Zone - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Total Current in the Surf Zone is summation of all wind-driven, tidal, oscillatory and steady currents.
Steady Current driven by Breaking Waves - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Steady Current driven by Breaking Waves [length/time] depends on Total Current in the Surf Zone-Tidal Current-Oscillatory Flow, Oscillatory Flow due to Wind Waves and Wind Driven Current.
Tidal Current - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Tidal Current [length/time] are the only type of current affected by the interactions of the Earth, sun, and moon.
Oscillatory Flow due to Wind Waves - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Oscillatory Flow due to Wind Waves is denoted by uo symbol.
Wind Driven Current - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Driven Current (length/time). Wind driven circulation is the process in which winds moving along the surface of the ocean push the water in their direction and create currents near the surface.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Current in the Surf Zone: 45 Meter per Second --> 45 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Steady Current driven by Breaking Waves: 16 Meter per Second --> 16 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Tidal Current: 12 Meter per Second --> 12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Oscillatory Flow due to Wind Waves: 3 Meter per Second --> 3 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Wind Driven Current: 6 Meter per Second --> 6 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
ui = u-uw-ut-uo-ua --> 45-16-12-3-6
Evaluating ... ...
ui = 8
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
8 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
8 Meter per Second <-- Oscillatory Flow due to Infragravity Waves

What does the current do to the sand in the surf zone?

Sand grains move along the shore and up and down beaches because of currents made by waves. Waves break when they reach shallow water, creating turbulence. This area is called the surf zone. The turbulence kicks up the sand and then currents move it along the beach.
