Working under the direction of Tony Conrad and Beverly Grant Conrad, Teibel recorded ocean waves at Coney Island for use in their feature film Coming Attractions (1970). Teibel immediately sensed the marketability of this material, noting its effect on improving concentration, enhancing sleep and sex, and imparting a sense of calm to the listener.
Whaling vessels are purported to have dangled blubber around the hull when in heavy seas to help calm the ocean. [11] Benjamin Franklin famously investigated oil's calming properties on waves during his visits to England in 1757 to negotiate on taxation issues, [1] demonstrating the effect on lakes such as Derwentwater.
For typical ocean waves with a period around 10 seconds, this group speed is close to 10 m/s. In the case of opposite propagation direction the groups travel at a much larger speed, which is now 2π( f 1 + f 2 )/( k 1 − k 2 ) with k 1 and k 2 the wave numbers of the interacting water waves.
However, one of the systems – a tropical wave east of the Lesser Antilles – could become a tropical depression in the middle to later part of next week as it moves westward, the center said at ...
Breaking swell waves at Hermosa Beach, California. A swell, also sometimes referred to as ground swell, in the context of an ocean, sea or lake, is a series of mechanical waves that propagate along the interface between water and air under the predominating influence of gravity, and thus are often referred to as surface gravity waves.
Internal tides are generated as the surface tides move stratified water up and down sloping topography, which produces a wave in the ocean interior. So internal tides are internal waves at a tidal frequency. The other major source of internal waves is the wind which produces internal waves near the inertial frequency.
World leaders are meeting in Paris this month in what amounts to a last-ditch effort to avert the worst ravages of climate change. Climatologists now say that the best case scenario — assuming immediate and dramatic emissions curbs — is that planetary surface temperatures will increase by at least 2 degrees Celsius in the coming decades.

In fluid dynamics, a wind wave, or wind-generated water wave, is a surface wave that occurs on the free surface of bodies of water as a result of the wind blowing over the water's surface.
