Figure 5: Bathymetry and topography of transect used in one-dimensional BOSZ computations.

From: Destructive tsunami-like wave generated by surf beat over a coral reef during Typhoon Haiyan

Figure 5

The abscissa indicates the distance x along the transect of Fig. 1c from offshore (Southeast) to onshore (Northwest). (a) Full domain. (b) Zoomed in topography of the reef and onshore region. The right-hand thin black line indicates the location of the house swept away by the tsunami as seen in Fig. 2 and the left-hand thin black line is the location of the beach. The kink between the two thin black lines is the town’s seawall. The red, green and medium black lines are hypothetical bathymetries, while the thick blue line is actual bathymetry.
