the model. The location of the reference point is proportional (a) (b)
to the intensity at that location, thus by placing this reference
point towards the proximal end of the sand body object and
by using the intensity parameter created, each turbidite body
will be sourced through a focused entry point centred over
the proximal end of the sand body.
