| Definitionskos:definition | Ripples are the smallest-scale transverse bedforms (wavelength 0.1–0.6 m, height 0.02–0.1 m), representing lower flow velocity (0.1–0.6 m/s) over a fine to medium sandy substrate. In planform, there are straight-crested, undulatory (sinuous crested), and linguoid (3-D) types. In profile, most are asymmetrical with sharp to rounded crestlines (Stow et al., 2009). |
