CORRYVRECKAN SEABED MODEL
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- A short explanation of the geological features which combined with tidal and wind conditions produce the turbulence in and around the Gulf of Corryvreckan.
The 3d models were created using bathymetry data produced in 2013 which show the buttress of basalt rock which can, under the right conditions, produce one large vortex.
The area in and around the Gulf of Corryvreckan has deep valleys which drop to as low as 245 metres in some places.
Due to the deep valleys the area is also used for submarine training exercises.

This is stunning visualization of data, a laudable execution of tons of research I presume. This demystifies the water flow using topography, geology, and hydrology, thank you.
Many thanks, I appreciate the comments.
Thank you for such a well executed explanation that a lay person can understand. I love learning more about the why and how things work.
Thank you, much appreciated.
As a sea kayaker, I’m rather glad I can’t see what’s below me.
Yes, sometimes you're better not knowing!
Ah yes … Davy Jones locker! We all see THAT eventually, kayak or no kayak ☠
Great tidal flow explanation. I dived the Buttress pinnacle (1994) from dive boat Porpoise, the pinnacle itself was covered in Elephant's Ear Sponge, a memorable, well planned and executed dive.
Also had many dives through the Grey Dogs at great various states of tide, it must be noted that myself and others I dived with were all experienced drift divers having many logged dives from the Cuan Sound to Falls of Lora to name but a few.
Thanks again for posting.
Many thanks for the comments, I was out on Porpoise II a few times but not as a diver.
I read of a diver exploring the buttress. All was calm, and then within a few seconds he noticed his bubbles were going into the dark. He sprinted to the light.
so it's more like a deep canyon with multiple deepspots . instead of just a hole in the seabed like it's often showed
thanks for explanation :D
That was very interesting, thanks. I piloted a 9.5 m powerful RIB through the Corrywreckan, I can tell you it was spectacular and awesome.
I can imagine!
Just the video I wanted, showing what it's like below the surface water.
Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it.
Really detailed video. Thanks! I'm fascinated by the Corryvreckan and Grey Dogs and travelled them in a boat years ago. I found the grey dogs actually more terrifying but the whole thing is breathtaking.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this, Our sailing trip was meant to be a kind of roots trip for my husband ( McNeill). We weren’t brave , just unlucky. We were in the wrong place and the wrong time. A force nine gale in a small sailboat in proximity to the whirlpool is no joke!
as a marine geologist who spent half his career visualising multibeam sonar data, I commend this visualisation
Thank you, much appreciated!
This is one of the most beautiful visualizations I have ever seen...thank you so much for showing my brain the how and why of these waters' behavior!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating. Been there in June this year and made a boat trip. Explanations on the tour were good but this video shows more details.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting video ! I think you could add a brief explanation of the geological genesys of the area
I presume that pinnacle will wear down with the action of the tide, over the years.
Been there for a while tho …
Doubt it. Your cold water tap flows faster and it doesn't wear away. Plus the pinnacle is covered in anemones.
Safehaven Marine built a service vessel they called "Thunderchild 2", which they took to Corryvreckan Maelstrom, the vid has excellent Drone footage of the vessel moving through the Whirlpools and colliding currents, in one shot the vessel is bow facing into the current with the throttles set at eight knots, the twenty two metre quad engine vessel is just sitting there not moving, and despite the current, all around the vessel is the constant churning power of the Maelstrom.
Yes, the drone footage is impressive, it's quite a boat! You just don't want your drone to end up in the salt water!
Excellent video and explanation.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My idea of paradise ,,Thanks
Very nice model, just missing the cardinal point all the time. N-E-S-W
And what's the position of the whirlpool?
Yeh, turbulent waters right-enough, but no sign of the famous 'whirlpool' though.
Water going down a plug hole is a permanent whirlpool. Ocean whirlpools are temporary/transient due to the ever changing movement of the whole body of water, and no hole to drain the ocean out of. Whirlpools in Corryvreckan can be seen forming and reforming.
At 04:00 more or less, no life jackets worn aboard the boat is that a component of the thrill?
People who sail , boat do not ware life jackets, but do have them available
Unless it’s night, a storm and on deck at night . Zero visibility, fog or think they might go in the water
No life jackets worn on that boat. Surely that is against regulations if that is a charter boat.
I hope he didn't quit :(
No I'm still here, I just haven't had time to film recently.
@@hebrideanwild :0 Thank god
@@hebrideanwild I love your channel alot
The spinning map is quite irritating. The music is even worse. Couldn't watch, unfortunately.
You probably need to increase your levels of gaba.
The spin cycles both simulate (are suggestive of) the maelstrom 'Charybdis' and help dry your clothes out and so have significant use value and the music is quite charming I find - though it appears your knots vary.
