approach slope ratio — The ratio of horizontal to vertical distance indicating the degree of inclination of the approach surface … Aviation dictionary
transitional surface — A specified surface sloping up and out from the edge of an approach surface and from a line originating at the end of the inner edge of each approach area, drawn parallel to the runway centerline in the direction of landing. The transitional… … Aviation dictionary
Mild-slope equation — Simulation of wave penetration involving diffraction and refraction into Tedious Creek, Maryland, using CGWAVE (which solves the mild slope equation). In fluid dynamics, the mild slope equation describes the combined effects of diffraction and… … Wikipedia
Ocean surface wave — Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur on the free surface of the ocean. They usually result from wind, and are also referred to as wind waves. Some waves can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. They range in size from small … Wikipedia

obstacle-limitation surfaces — The outer horizontal, conical, inner horizontal, approach, inner approach, transitional, inner transitional, balked landing, and takeoff climb surfaces make up the obstacle limitation surfaces. The outer horizontal surface is a plane located 500… … Aviation dictionary
Cnoidal wave — US Army bombers flying over near periodic swell in shallow water, close to the Panama coast (1933). The sharp crests and very flat troughs are characteristic for cnoidal waves. In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic… … Wikipedia
