Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008478

A graphical representation used to illustrate the bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another or through a medium with varying properties. In oceanography, these diagrams depict how ocean waves change direction as they encounter varying water depths. They are used to predict wave patterns near coastlines.
