Wave


Updated on 13/07/2018
Définition
Sens commun
Periodic oscillation of sea level. The wave occurs sporadically, depending on the uneven pressures and on the wind friction that these differences in pressure generate. Waves (or chops), formed by the local wind, are random and, therefore, their action on the shore is negligible on the average.
