  4. Stabilizer (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizer_(ship)

    Ship stabilizers (or stabilisers) are fins or rotors mounted beneath the waterline and emerging laterally from the hull to reduce a ship's roll due to wind or waves. Active fins are controlled by a gyroscopic control system. When the gyroscope senses the ship roll, it changes the fins' angle of attack so that the forward motion of the ship ...

  6. Undertow (water waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undertow_(water_waves)

    An "undertow" is a steady, offshore-directed compensation flow, which occurs below waves near the shore. Physically, nearshore, the wave-induced mass flux between wave crest and trough is onshore directed. This mass transport is localized in the upper part of the water column, i.e. above the wave troughs. To compensate for the amount of water ...

  7. Echo sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_sounding

    Echo sounding or depth sounding is the use of sonar for ranging, normally to determine the depth of water (bathymetry). It involves transmitting acoustic waves into water and recording the time interval between emission and return of a pulse; the resulting time of flight, along with knowledge of the speed of sound in water, allows determining ...
