  2. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    Waterfowl and boats moving across the surface of water produce a wake pattern, first explained mathematically by Lord Kelvin and known today as the Kelvin wake pattern. [ 1 ] This pattern consists of two wake lines that form the arms of a chevron, V, with the source of the wake at the vertex of the V.

  3. Kelvin wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wave

    There have been studies that connect equatorial Kelvin waves to coastal Kelvin waves. Moore (1968) found that as an equatorial Kelvin wave strikes an "eastern boundary", part of the energy is reflected in the form of planetary and gravity waves; and the remainder of the energy is carried poleward along the eastern boundary as coastal Kelvin waves.

  4. Tides in marginal seas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tides_in_marginal_seas

    The domain is closed on the right hand side, to mimic an enclosed shelf sea. The wave enters the domain on the lower left hand side and travels towards the right. On the right hand side the wave is reflected and travels back towards the left. On the closed side the reflection happens through the creation of Poincare waves which are not modelled ...

  5. Arrow of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time

    A ball that is tossed up, slows to a stop, and falls is a case where recordings would look equally realistic forwards and backwards. The system is T-symmetrical. However, the process of the ball bouncing and eventually coming to a stop is not time-reversible. While going forward, kinetic energy is dissipated and entropy is increased.

  6. Equatorial wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_wave

    Equatorial Kelvin waves behave somewhat as if there were a wall at the equator – so that the equator is to the right of the direction of along-equator propagation in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of the direction of propagation in the Southern Hemisphere, both of which are consistent with eastward propagation along the equator. [1]

  7. Sverdrup balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverdrup_balance

    In words, this equation says that as a vertical column of water is squashed, it moves toward the Equator; as it is stretched, it moves toward the pole. Assuming, as did Sverdrup, that there is a level below which motion ceases, the vorticity equation can be integrated from this level to the base of the Ekman surface layer to obtain:

  9. Clockwise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

    Clockwise motion (abbreviated CW) proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands relative to the observer: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English ) anticlockwise ( ACW ) or (in North American English ) counterclockwise ( CCW ...
