Figure 20. Chart of sand wave profiles in study area.

Figure 20. Charts showing profiles of sand waves in the study area. A-A' through D-D' show sand waves with asymmetries that indicate net sediment transport to the west. E-E' shows relatively symmetrical sand waves that suggest no dominant sediment transport direction. F-F' shows asymmetrical sand waves indicative of eastward net sediment transport. VE, vertical exaggeration. Location of profiles shown in figure 16.
