Looking for more information on surge wakes (aka Favre waves; aka undular
bores) such as the one Liem Bahneman detailed here a couple weeks ago.  Best
source I have located is a PDF file of a Power Point presentation (
http://chl.wes.army.mil/research/navigation/GulfportWorkshop/StephenMaynord1.pdf )
, which has some cool photos of a surge wake on a narrow ship channel -- 
throws rock onto the adjacent dike road!

Google on "Favre waves" gives a couple good hits, and then tunnels out on
hand motions from the Packer QB ("Favre waves at the crowd ...").

Any leads?

Thanks.
