surface wave [′sər·fəs ‚wāv]

(communications)

ground wave

(electromagnetism)

A wave that can travel along an interface between two different mediums without radiation; the interface must be essentially straight in the direction of propagation; the commonest interface used is that between air and the surface of a circular wire.

(fluid mechanics)

A wave that distorts the free surface that separates two fluid phases, usually a liquid and a gas.

(mechanics)

Rayleigh wave

(oceanography)

A progressive gravity wave in which the disturbance is of greatest amplitude at the air-water interface.
