Schematic representation of TETA the wave propagation direction

System Modules TOMAWAC

hello [name removed],

I am new in tomawac and in wave modeling in general.

I am trying to understand the first equation, but I got a problem to schematically represent [name removed] (wave propagation direction).

in my research I didn’t find a “scheme” representing this angle.

so My questions are

is Teta the angle of the tangent of a specific point on/of the wave.???

is teta an angle leading an axis parallel to the X axis (pointing in the same direction as the X axis) ??? by this way the angle teta is always (pi/2 or 90 degree). (I suppose we are in a [group removed] coordinate system)

Hello

I am not sure to understand your question, you will find a scheme with [name removed] of the user documentation.

hope this helps

Hi

Thanks tfouquet,

Sorry if my question was not explicit/clear, I will try to make it more simple and clear…
