undulations Explanation: https://ecommons.udayton.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=129... https://espace.library.uq.edu.au/data/UQ_9323/ART_34.pdf?Exp... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2023-07-19 08:53:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Wavelike variations in height or depth: This is the most general way to describe undulations. Sinusoidal curves: This is a more specific way to describe undulations. It implies that the variations are regular and have a sine wave shape. Wavy patterns: This is a more informal way to describe undulations. Undulating surface: This is a way to describe a surface that has undulations. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2023-07-19 08:56:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Some characterists of undulations: 1. Is the most general term for a regular variation in height or depth. 2. Does not imply a specific depth or size, which is important in the context of the probe. The probe is designed to measure undulations of any size, so it is important to use a term that does not limit the scope of the measurement. 3. Is a more formal term than corrugations or ripples, which makes it more appropriate for the context of the probe. The probe is a scientific instrument, and it is important to use language that is appropriate for the scientific community. |

cyclical variations Explanation: It isn't quite clear from the context exactly WHICH 'ondulations' are being referred to here, but I'm assuming it is more to do with soemthing like air pressure than anything like a phsyical surface. However, it is clear that the specific charcteristic relevant here is the fact that these are repeating cyclical variations |
