Capillary waves (ripples) in water Ripples on Lifjord in Øksnes Municipality, Norway Capillary waves produced by droplet impacts on the interface between water and air..

Linguoid ripples generate an angle to the flow as well as downstream. Linguoid ripples have a random shape rather than a "W" shape, as described in the catenary description.
