Tsunami Wave Breaking

Tsunami Wave Breaking is a hydrodynamic phenomenon characterized by the disintegration of a tsunami wave into turbulent surges upon nearing shallow coastal regions, distinguished from ordinary wave breaking by its occurrence at continental shelf scales and its dependence on nonlinear amplitude amplification rather than wind-driven wave instability.
