“…For the secondaries on the first wave the ratio is 1/17. These ratios approximate the values observed by Cornish (20) for small sand waves on several of Britain's tidal flats. He found the "steepest ratio" to be 1/13.…”

“…At the level of the semi-diurnal (or diurnal) cycle, however, there abounds qualitative evidence for severe lag, similar to that cited for rivers. Many workers, including Cornish (1901), Hantzschel (1938), Gellatly (1970) and Klein (1970), record large dunes stranded but little modified on sand banks after ebb tide. Had no lag occurred, the bed would have been plane at the scale of dunes and ornamented with nothing larger than ripples.…”

“…Despite the research effort, which dates back to the pioneering studies of Cornish (1901), Bucher (1919) and Van Veen (1935, 1937, 1938, no fully accepted relationships have been established between marine sandwaves and flow parameters and therefore the significance of sandwaves, in terms of sediment transport, remains poorly understood. Like ripples formed in unidirectional flow, sandwaves are often 0 1982 International Association of Sedimentologists 0037-0746/82/0800-057 I $02.00 asymmetrical in cross-sectional profile and it is generally assumed that this asymmetry is indicative of both the direction of bedform migration and of net sediment transport.…”
