The waves rarely gave him a chance even to clamber onto his surfboard and paddle; mostly, he was underwater, diving under waves, swimming seaward along the bottom somewhere, dragging his board behind him by a leash attached to his ankle.
People ask Seaward continually, Can I replicate Centre Court in my backyard?
Model results show that vegetation characteristics at the seaward fringe determine the shape of the cross-shore bottom profile, with sparse vegetation leading to profiles that are close to linear, whereas with dense vegetation resulting in a convex intertidal topography.
The bottom resistance has little influence on the seaward swash hydrodynamics (initial swash stage), e.g., water depth and flow velocity, while its influence becomes significant in the small water depth region near the swash front, which reduces the maximum run-up height.
The tsunami removed sediments from the sea bottom and beaches, and transported them landward and/or seaward.
For instance, in Aquamarine Bay, the tide on the seaward side is so strong that plants lie parallel to the sea bottom.
In particular, the synthetic networks develop via headward growth driven by the exceedance of a critical bottom shear stress, and display width-to-depth ratios and seaward exponential widening in accordance with observational evidence.
Observational studies were undertaken to obtain more insight into the importance of bottom fine sediment boundary layer and transport processes to the seaward part of the North Passage in the Changjiang Estuary, China.
Precise measurements from ocean bottom seismographs (OBSs) detected numerous intraplate earthquakes after the 2011 event ranging in location from approximately 120 km seaward of the trench to approximately 90 km landward of the trench with mainly normal fault focal mechanisms in the uppermost subducting Pacific Plate (Obana et al. 2012; Obana et al. 2013).
