Pitkäaaltoiset
Pitkäaaltoiset, also known as long waves, are a type of oceanic phenomenon characterized by long-period waves that can travel thousands of kilometers across the ocean. These waves are typically generated by large-scale weather systems, such as storms, and can have significant impacts on coastal regions. The term "pitkäaaltoinen" is derived from Finnish, where "pitkä" means long and "aalto" means wave.
Long waves are distinct from wind-generated waves, which are shorter in period and amplitude. They are often
The study of long waves is important for understanding ocean dynamics and predicting coastal hazards. Researchers
