The levee asymmetry of the channels on the Danube Fan also influences the large-scale stratigraphic architecture of the system. As a result of the taller and wider right-side levees, avulsions preferentially occur on the left side \citep{Popescu_2001}; this results in the asymmetric overall structure of the Danube Fan, as most of the deposition—and certainly most of the sand deposition—takes place on the northern side of the initial channel levee system.
\citet{Peakall_2013} have suggested that there was a cutoff for high-sinuosity channels at 50º latitude; according to this view, this cutoff would explain why some high-sinuosity channels like the Danube and Knight Inlet still occur at latitudes less than or close to 50º. We see no particular reason for a step change in the Coriolis effect at 50º latitude. For the same velocity and radius of curvature, the Rossby number decreases rapidly at low latitudes and then stays almost constant at latitudes higher than ~50º (Fig. 10).
