2 unusual facts about wind wave


Nine Mothers of Heimdallr

Some scholars have linked the Nine Mothers of Heimdallr with the Nine Daughters of Ægir (whose parentage and names combined imply waves), an identification that would mean that Heimdallr was thus born from the waves of the sea.

Wind wave

Tidal waves are "not" generated by the low atmospheric pressure of large storms, by the sloshing of water in enclosed spaces, and by the sudden displacement of ocean water.


Marine weather forecasting

These stations observe ocean waves, tide levels, sea surface temperature and ocean current etc. in the Northwestern Pacific basin, as well as the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk basin, and provide marine meteorological forecasts resulted from them, in cooperation with the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department, Japan Coast Guard.

Sedimentary budget

When a beach environment is effected by wind, wave and tidal energy it responds with either positive or negative feedback which determines whether the system is balanced and in equilibrium.
