Sentences with phrase «individual waves»

Our wave prediction system is based on a statistical description of oceans waves (i.e. ensemble average of individual waves).

Both researchers therefore think that it is necessary to additionally utilize a new generation of models that resolve individual waves for hazard mitigation purposes.

The mirror strategy is not optimal, however, when light is polarized, which occurs when individual waves of light align parallel to one another.

Most individual wave events are too faint by the time they reach Earth for astronomers to make them out from background gravitational - wave noise.

The Delta Flume boasts bigger waves; the maximum significant wave height — a measure of a storm's intensity — is 2.2 meters, but individual waves may top out at 4.5 meters.

Instead of using a simple sphere and varying its material parameters and size, they begin with an arbitrary object — a random collection of 160 spheres — and show that they can always adjust the synchronization and polarization of the individual waves in the beam to create an attraction, as they also reported online 10 November in Physical Review Letters.

The individual waves were still oscillating quickly but they were oscillating at the same frequency in opposite directions, meaning at certain points they canceled each other out and other points they added together, creating an all light or all dark pattern.

To understand and predict rare events such as rogue waves, scientists have typically taken a leave - no - wave - behind approach, in which they try to simulate every individual wave in a given body of water, to give a high - resolution picture of the sea state, as well as any suspicious, rogue - like activity.

Swells and the individual waves within a swell travel at different speeds.

For the swell to keep moving forward, individual waves are constantly rotating positions.

The special identifying feature of Rossby waves is that the phase velocity of each individual wave always has a westward component, but the group velocity can be in any direction.

Did you know that the height of some individual waves may be twice the height of the forecast seas?
