    154154%The ANUGA simulation determines a region to be inundated if at some point in time it was covered by at least 1cm of water. This precision in field measurements is impossible to obtain. The inundation boundary is determined by observing water marks and other signs left by the receeding waters. The precision of the observed inundation map is, most likely, at least an order of magnitude worse than the ANUGA simulation. The simulated inundation based upon a 10cm threshold is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:inundationcomparison10cm}.

     156Both the URS model and the ANUGA inundation model shows that the event comprises a train of waves some with preciding drawdown effects (ADD details of waveform with a graph from URL and a gauge from ANUGA and discuss). In \cite{papadopoulos06} eyewitness accounts report
     157\emph{In Patong beach, most people observed at least two
     158waves. It is likely that the leading wave described in both
     159Sri Lanka and Maldives was not observed in Patong beach.
     160What people said is that the first sea motion was a retreat
     161of more than 100 m. A few minutes later the strong wave
     162arrived. Then, after another 5 or 10 min. one more wave attacked
     163but less violently than the first one. Nearly all the
     164interviewed persons reported that the tsunami inundation
     165in the Patong beach varied from 150 m to at least 750 m
     166(Fig. 16). One eyewitness reported inundation of only 20
     167m. As for the arrival time of the strong wave the eyewitnesses
     168do not agree. However, most reports concentrated
     169around 02:55 to 03:05 (09:55 to 10:05 local) which seems
     170to be a reliable description.}
