Figure 2.
Graph showing the relationship between H sub b over d sub s and d sub s over T squared in feet per second squared with curves for various nearshore slopes.The graph illustrates the relationship between H sub b divided by d sub s on the vertical axis and d sub s over T squared presented in feet per second squared on the horizontal axis. The curves represent different nearshore slopes denoted by variables m ranging from zero point zero to zero point two, with distinct colours for each slope. The graph exhibits a general downward trend, resembling a non-linear function. A boxed annotation points to the curve, indicating it is a non-linear function. The vertical axis ranges from zero to approximately four point five, while the horizontal axis ranges from zero to approximately zero point zero seven.
