wave amplitude. The steepness near the front of the monoclinal wave profile and the differ-
ence between monoclinal and steady flow or linear wave rating curves both increase as
amplitude increases. The energy gradient and Froude number at all points along the profile
also increase with wave amplitude, and the location of the maximum shifts continuously
toward the leading edge.
