Figure 14. Sand wave profiles in the study area.

Figure 14. Profiles of sand waves (A-A’) and megaripples (B-B’) in the southeastern part of the study area. Symmetrical sand-wave profiles indicate that the sand waves are likely stationary, while the asymmetry of the megaripples indicates net westward sediment transport. Locations of profiles are shown in figures 12 and 13. VE, vertical exaggeration.
