A new type of sea bed waves
Sandy beds of shallow tidal seas often exhibit a range of rhythmic patterns, from small-scale ripples a few metres long to large tidal sandbanks with a wavelength of kilometres. For example, on the access route to Rotterdam harbour ships cross a field of sandwaves. The crests of these sandwaves dete...
