Edge Wave 2
Edge Wave 2 :
An ocean wave traveling parallel to a coast, with crests normal to the coast Line. Such a wave has a height that diminishes rapidly sea ward and is negligible at a distance of one wave length offshore.These edge waves, the trapped mode of longshore wave motion, have wave periods which will be longer than the incident wave periods; standing edge waves will have peaks and nodes at points along the shoreline, although edge waves may be either standing or progressive waves
