Green's law edit

  • ... that tsunamis build up their height according to Green's law, as they travel from the ocean towards the coast? Source: Synolakis, C.E., "Tsunami runup on steep slopes: How good linear theory really is",Natural Hazards (1991) 4: pp. 221-234. doi:10.1007/BF00162789

  • Correct person credited. Article is new enough and large enough. (The DYKC fails on this article). The article has sufficient references and is neutral. There is no copyright infringement detected. At 110 characters hook is short enough. It is in the article with a cite. The reference appears to confirm it, but I don't want to read it all, and it says it in a much more complex way. No QPQ neded as this is only the second DYK by this user. Good to go.
