Missing the point a little, tsunami's are not comparable to ocean waves. They ARE more like a huge, very fast, rising tide, modelling is not the same as a breaking ocean wave. This research impacts the modelling for ocean or coastal structures which have relied on the breaking wave dynamics for a particular depth and topology. The research shows that the maximum breaking wave height can be much greater than previously thought. So, the off-shore wind turbine which was believed safe because the expected max wave height will never manifest as a breaking wave in the depth of water it's sitting in may actually be in jeopardy.
