    7878The bathymetry data used in this study was derived from the following
    7979sources:
    8080\begin{itemize}
    8181\item a two arc minute grid data set covering the Bay of Bengal,
    82   DBDB2, obtained from US Naval Research Labs;
     82  DBDB2, obtained from US Naval Research Labs
     83  (\url{http://www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil/DBDB2_WWW});
    8384\item a 3 second arc grid covering the whole of the Andaman Sea based
    84   on Thai Navy charts no. 45 and no. 362; and
     85  on Thai Navy charts no. 45 and no. 362; and 
     86  (FIXME (OLE): wait for DB's reply)
    8587\item a one second grid created from the digitised Thai Navy
    8688  bathymetry chart, no. 358, which covers Patong Bay and the
    87   immediately adjacent regions.
    88   (FIXME (Ole): How was the grid created from these digitised points?) RICHARD
     89  immediately adjacent regions.
     90  The gridding of data was performed using {\bf Intrepid}, a commercial
     91  geophysical processing package developed by Intrepid Geophysics. The
     92  gridding scheme employed the nearest neighbour algorithm followed by
     93  an application of minimum curvature akima spline smoothing.

    163 A one second grid was used to approximate the topography in Patong
    164 Bay. This elevation data was again created from the digitised Thai
    165 Navy bathymetry chart, no 358.
    166 FIXME (Ole): I don't think so. The Navy chart is only offshore. RICHARD

    169 set used in Patong Bay is shown in
    170 Figure~\ref{fig:patong_bathymetry}.
     164The 1 second onshore topography for Patong Beach provided by the CCOP was
     165merged with the nearshore 1 second bathymetry described in Section
     166\ref{sec:bathymetry data} to provide a seamless terrain model for the
     167bay and community as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:patong_bathymetry}.

    274 in the north and 0.5 to 2 metres per second (+/- 1 m/s) in the south.

    276274Water depths could also
    277275be estimated from the videos by the level at which water rose up the
