Wave Refraction By Currents

Wave Refraction By Currents is a hydrodynamic phenomenon in which the direction and wavelength of surface gravity waves are altered due to spatial variations in ambient current velocity, distinguished from other wave refraction mechanisms by its dependence on current-induced changes in wave phase speed rather than bathymetric effects.
