The relationship between the time-averaged fluid force (Fig. 15) and height changes of the submerged macrophytes (Fig. 6). The upper panel shows the number of sample data counted in all grids of the southern basin with a bin of 0.1 m for the height changes of the submerged macrophytes. The lower panel shows the plots of the averaged values for the fluid forces and height changes (black dots) with the standard deviation (bars) using the sample data
