Waves - Between

: The horizontal distance between two adjacent crests or troughs.

can refer to the physical space between ocean crests or, more metaphorically, the quiet intervals within rhythmic systems—ranging from oceanography to physics and philosophy. The Oceanographic Perspective Between Waves

: The time interval it takes for two successive crests to pass a stationary point. : The horizontal distance between two adjacent crests

: While the wave energy moves forward, the water particles within the troughs actually move in a circular or orbital path, returning nearly to their original position. The Science of Deep-Sea Waves Between Waves

The concept of what happens "between" or below surface waves is critical for global climate regulation. Why does the ocean have waves?
