  2. Surface wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave

    Surface waves span a wide frequency range, and the period of waves that are most damaging is usually 10 seconds or longer. Surface waves can travel around the globe many times from the largest earthquakes. Surface waves are caused when P waves and S waves come to the surface. Examples are the waves at the surface of water and air (ocean surface ...

  3. Scientific visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_visualization

    Surface rendering of Arabidopsis thaliana pollen grains with confocal microscope. Scientific visualization (also spelled scientific visualisation) is an interdisciplinary branch of science concerned with the visualization of scientific phenomena. [2] It is also considered a subset of computer graphics, a branch of computer science. The purpose ...

  4. Surface wave inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave_inversion

    Surface-wave inversion is the method by which elastic properties, density, and thickness of layers in the subsurface are obtained through analysis of surface-wave dispersion. [2] The entire inversion process requires the gathering of seismic data, the creation of dispersion curves, and finally the inference of subsurface properties.

  5. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    Animation of two waves, the green wave moves to the right while blue wave moves to the left, the net red wave amplitude at each point is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves. Note that f ( x , t ) + g ( x , t ) = u ( x , t ) .

  6. Kelvin wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wave

    An equatorial Kelvin wave, captured through sea surface height anomalies. Kelvin waves can also exist going eastward parallel to the equator. Although waves can cross the equator, the Kelvin wave solution does not. The primitive equations are identical to those used to develop the coastal Kelvin wave solution (U-momentum, V-momentum, and ...

  7. Gravity wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_wave

    Wind-generated waves on the water surface are examples of gravity waves, as are tsunamis, ocean tides, and the wakes of surface vessels. The period of wind-generated gravity waves on the free surface of the Earth's ponds, lakes, seas and oceans are predominantly between 0.3 and 30 seconds (corresponding to frequencies between 3 Hz and .03 Hz).

    The criteria for labeling a food "healthy" will match current nutrition science, FDA said, along with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and updated Nutrition Facts label, which requires ...

  9. Seismic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_wave

    Seismic surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. They can be classified as a form of mechanical surface wave. Surface waves diminish in amplitude as they get farther from the surface and propagate more slowly than seismic body waves (P and S). Surface waves from very large earthquakes can have globally observable amplitude of several ...
