6. Cross sea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_sea

   A cross sea (also referred to as a squared sea or square waves [a]) is a sea state of wind-generated ocean waves that form nonparallel wave systems. Cross seas have a large amount of directional spreading. [1] This may occur when water waves from one weather system continue despite a shift in wind. Waves generated by the new wind run at an ...

7. Kelvin wave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wave

   A Kelvin wave is a wave in the ocean, a large lake or the atmosphere that balances the Earth's Coriolis force against a topographic boundary such as a coastline, or a waveguide such as the equator. A feature of a Kelvin wave is that it is non-dispersive , i.e., the phase speed of the wave crests is equal to the group speed of the wave energy ...
