Not exact matches

Wind velocities of three to 15 kilometers per hour will produce water waves having periods up to three seconds.

During such periods, a wave surge scours the sandy bottom and suspends clouds of sediment in the water column.

This creates usually short period waves for decreased quality of surf conditions and choppy waters.

This gives the result that there is more energy transferred in to the water during the generation of the waves, which gives the bigger swell periods.

We looked out for the swell period (time between the waves), the wind direction and speed and the height of the waves, whilst taking into consideration our route out back, and the number of people already in the water.

Waves with a longer period have more energy and so more water is forced upwards creating a larger wave.

Other onboard instruments will record air and sea surface temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wave height and period, and water conductivity.

Recently, there appears to have been more cool water than normal associated with the upwelling (cool) Kelvin waves, so we've had the double - dip (2010/11 La Niña and 2011/12 La Niña) and now La Niña conditions — though I don't know that we could classify this as a triple - dip, since we did reach strong El Niño conditions for a short period of time during 2012.

But this stream of tech is the eau de vie, the uisge beatha, the little water that we all swim in now and I only slip beneath the (electromagnetic) waves for short periods, weighed down by the seasonal freight.

Typical marine forecasts predict wind speed and direction, wave heights and periods, roughness of near shore waters, and significant weather.
