| wave |
In general, any pattern with some roughly identifiable periodicity in time and/or space. It is also considered as a disturbance that moves through or over the surface of the medium with speed dependent on the properties of the medium. In meteorology, this applies to atmospheric waves, such as long waves and short waves. In oceanography, this applies to waves generated by mechanical means, such as currents, turbidity, and the wind.

| wave length |
The least distance between particles moving in the same phase of oscillation of a wave. In oceanography, it is the horizontal distance between the highest parts of two successive wave crests above the still water level, separated by a trough that is below the still water level, and it is measured in meters.

In a wave that repeats itself, the wavelength is the distance between identical parts of the wave. Click the blackboard in the waves lab for a drawing showing wavelength.
