Description: Photograph of the water particle orbits under a – progressive and periodic – surface gravity wave. The wave conditions are: mean water depth d = 2.50 ft, wave height H = 0.339 ft, wavelength L = 6.42 ft, period T = 1.12 s. Figure 6 from: R.L. Wiegel & J.W. Johnson (1950) "Elements of wave theory". Proceedings 1st International Conference on Coastal Engineering, Long Beach, California. ASCE, pp. 5–21.
