Long period waves

English to French Tech/Engineering Geography exploration well drilling
Long period waves in the region are influenced by swells generated by the South Atlantic tropical anticyclone, typical of African coast conditions in the South Atlantic. The wave period and significant wave height generated by this swell is dependent on the exact location within the South Atlantic. The meteorological mechanism that generates the swell is a result of the strong persistence of the south tropical anticyclone. The swells are long and regular, and they follow a south to north direction

Cycles longs

Long waves : dans un contexte chronologique, cette expression se traduit par cycles longs
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : this is not about some "undefined" cyclic movement - it's specifically about sea waves + it has nothing to do with "chronology" but with the physics of oscillatory movements.

Vagues volumineuses dont l'impact est particulièrement intense et violent

Dans le sens, vagues dont le volume est considérablement supérieur à celui des vagues normales, et influence la masse totale d'eau environnante à elles en formant d'autres.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : this is not a translation but an explanation - and a wrong one.
