Tsunami versus Infragravity Surge: Comparison of the Physical Character of Extreme Runup

Abstract Recent observations of energetic infragravity (IG) flooding events, such as those in the Philippines during Typhoon Haiyan, suggest that IG surges may approach the coast as breaking bores with periods of minutes: a very tsunami‐like characteristic. Energetic IG waves have been observed in v...
