Two solitary wave runup

兩個海嘯波(孤立波)上溯的過程:
當一系列海嘯波抵達岸邊時,由於水深變淺,會導致波高變陡,波浪也變得越來越尖銳。
其後變產生破碎,並以海嘯湧潮(Tsunami Bore)型態衝上岸。而第二海嘯波在第一海嘯波尚未完全退卻前亦上岸,此時會造成第二海嘯波較第一海嘯波來得更高大的現象。

Two solitary wave runup.
When a series of tsunami waves (Solitary waves) approach the shore, the wave height increases, and the wave form becomes sharp. At then end, this wave breaks, and transforms into a tsunami bore. The second wave arrives the shore before the first wave finishing its rundown process. The resulting phenomena is that the second wave looks bigger and taller than the first wave.
