The model also generated acoustic data; an interesting revelation of the simulation was that tsunamigenic surface - breaking ruptures, like the 2011 earthquake, produce higher amplitude ocean acoustic waves than those that do not.

Researchers at MIT have now identified a less dramatic though far more pervasive source of acoustic - gravity waves: surface ocean waves, such as those that can be seen from a beach or the deck of a boat.

Acoustic - gravity waves are very long sound waves that cut through the deep ocean at the speed of sound.

Kadri says the typical water wave equations used to characterize ocean wave interactions do not apply to acoustic - gravity waves, as they do not factor in compressibility and gravity effects.

Similarly, a surface acoustic wave propagates a deformation, but only in the surface layer, similarly to waves in the ocean.
