Fig. 8. Solitary wave momentum flux parameter versus H/h.
The upper plot of Fig. 10 shows the sea surface
trough and around the still water level where the
trace from the section of transient wave shown in
sea surface curvature is small (see Sobey, 1992). No

problems resolving MF away from the wave crest,
