wave radius
1Wave equation — Not to be confused with Wave function. The wave equation is an important second order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves – as they occur in physics – such as sound waves, light waves and water waves. It arises in… …
2Radius of maximum wind — The radius of maximum wind (RMW) of a tropical cyclone is defined to be the distance between the center of the cyclone and its band of strongest winds. It is considered an important parameter in atmospheric dynamics and tropical cyclone… …

4Wave base — The wave base is the maximum depth at which a water wave s passage causes significant water motion. For water depths larger than the wave base, bottom sediments are no longer stirred by the wave motion above. In deep water, the water particles… …
5Density wave theory — Image of spiral galaxy M81 combining data from the Hubble, Spitzer, and GALEX space telescopes. Density wave theory or the Lin Shu density wave theory is a theory proposed by C.C. Lin and Frank Shu in the mid 1960s to explain spiral arm structure …
6Blast wave — A blast wave in fluid dynamics is the pressure and flow resulting from the deposition of a large amount of energy in a small very localised volume. The flow field can be approximated as a lead shock wave, followed by a self similar subsonic flow… …
7Covalent radius of fluorine — The covalent radius of fluorine is a measure of the size of a fluorine atom; it is approximated at about 60 picometres. Since fluorine is a relatively small atom with a large electronegativity, its covalent radius is difficult to evaluate. The… …
8Ocean surface wave — Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur on the free surface of the ocean. They usually result from wind, and are also referred to as wind waves. Some waves can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. They range in size from small …
9Wind wave — Ocean wave redirects here. For the film, see Ocean Waves (film). North Pacific storm waves as seen from the NOAA M/V Noble Star, Winter 1989 …
10Rossby wave — Rossby (or planetary) waves are giant meanders in high altitude winds that are a major influence on weather. Their emergence is due to shear in rotating fluids, so that the Coriolis force changes along the sheared coordinate. In planetary… …
