tlooto Summary

Researchers corrected typographical errors in a computer code for flat-bottom simulations of shoaling surface gravity waves, affecting skewness evolution predictions.

Abstract

Owing to a typographical error in a computer code for the flat-bottom simulations (§3.2), figures 10-12 are incorrect. The corrected figures 10 and 11 shown here indicate slightly improved agreement between the flat-bottom model and field observations (compare figure 10 with figure 1 a, and compare figure 11 with figure 2). The corrected figure 12 (not shown) is not significantly different from the original version. The skewness evolution in constant depth is substantially altered in corrected results. The corrected evolution (figure 16 here there is no comparable figure in the original paper) is quite similar to model results on a sloping bottom (figure 13, bottom panel).
