Description :
The AA. test the representation of braided channel morphodynamics in the Murray-Paola model, MP model, against the known characteristics (mainly from a sequence of high resolution digital elevation models) of a physical model of a braided stream. It achieves this by initiating the model from real braided topography rather than white noise. This extension of the application of the MP model is used to identify characteristics that are not reproduced, to investigate their causes, propose modifications and discuss both the implications for the formation of braiding and alternative modelling strategies.
