shallow water waves  

Definition

  • Information Shallow-water waves are waves traveling in water where depth is less than one-twentieth the wavelength (D < 1/20 L). Shallow-water waves include wind-generated waves that have moved into shallow, nearshore areas, tsunamis (seismic waves) generated by disturbances in the ocean floor, and tide waves generated by the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon.
