Ok STEM folks, explain?

Carl Tollander

This is local in Santa Fe (Arroyo Chamiso bike trail I think near Chavez center).  Non-flash-flood sandy base is normally flat, about 2 pct grade maybe 4-5 feet below trail.  What is the frequency and how does this occur?  Why is this happening next to the path and not out in the middle of the arroyo?

Solitons?  Skipping stones?  What?

We live here; we should know this stuff.

For those who already abandoned facebook I think this is the same video from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG_K1sIVmLI
and I include a couple impressive videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecVouNETYaI  and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8ASTkSYXfA and there are several posts of these recent floods in youtube

Look out right there. Is it normal in Santa Fe? Must ask climate change deniers what is going on.

Steve Smith

Looks like the Loch Ness Monster traveled up the Rio Grande, the Santa Fe River into Arroyo Chamiso?

I have an arroyo behind my house in San Ildefonso which is also wide and flat which had this behaviour a few years ago during a flash flood.  6' tall standing waves for a good 30 minutes.

That has a lot of predictable structure.  Not random.

Re: Ok STEM folks, explain?

Nick Thompson
In reply to this post by Frank Wimberly-2

Hi frank,

 

Forgive me for poaching Hywel’s shot.

 

I guess he would have said, “In time, this flood will fade into the background noise of geological history.”  Or am I wrong about that.    Here! Here’s the cudgel.  You take a whack at it. 

 

By the way, we’ve had six inches of rain since the beginning of July.  No record-making event, to be sure, but it is interesting that it’s happening both there and here.  Usually, the country is a seesaw. 

 

Nick
