Wave Steepening

Wave Steepening is a nonlinear distortion process in which the amplitude-dependent propagation speed of acoustic or surface waves causes the leading edge of a wave to compress and its slope to increase over time, ultimately enhancing wavefront asymmetry and potentially leading to wave breaking or shock formation.
