Edge wave

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005278

A type of trapped wave that propagates along a coastline, with its amplitude decaying exponentially offshore. These waves are typically generated by atmospheric disturbances or seismic activity and are influenced by the bathymetry near the shore. Their periods can range from minutes to several hours, and they can contribute to coastal erosion.
