Bølgehældninger
Bølgehældninger, often translated as wave slopes, refer to the steepness of ocean waves. It is a fundamental parameter in describing wave characteristics and is crucial in various fields, including coastal engineering, naval architecture, and oceanography. Mathematically, wave slope is typically defined as the ratio of the wave height to the horizontal distance over which that height occurs, often approximated as the wavelength. A more precise definition involves the derivative of the wave surface elevation with respect to horizontal position.
High wave slopes indicate steep and potentially breaking waves, which can pose significant challenges for maritime
