  Water Wave Celerity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Note that in deep water the celerity is independent of water depth, which is not surprising in view of the fact that the waves do not interact with the bottom.
In deep water, therefore, the wave length is constant, but as waves approach a beach the wave length decreases as the square root of the depth.
Wind-generated waves typically have periods from 1 to 25 seconds, wave lengths from 1 to 1000 meters, speeds from 1 to 40 m/s, and heights less than 3 meters.

  Tsunami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tsunami that struck Malé in the Maldives on December 26, 2004.
Waves are formed as the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium and radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunamis, by contrast behave as shallow water waves in the deep ocean (provided their length is at least 20 times the local depth), for which little attenuation of water motion occurs with depth.

 Tsunami - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
A tsunami (pronounced soo-nah-mee or tsoo-nah-mee [ IPA /suˈnɑːmi/ or /tsuˈnɑːmi/]) is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
These events can give rise to much larger local shock waves (solitons), such as the landslide at the head of Lituya Bay which produced a water wave estimated at 50 – 150 m and reached 524 m up local mountains.
They also need not be symmetrical; tsunami waves may be much stronger in one direction than another, depending on the nature of the source and the surrounding geography.

 10.27.2005 - John V. Wehausen, leader in marine hydrodynamics, dies at 92
Wehausen contributed original research in the areas of wave resistance, floating-system motions, ship maneuverability and ship-generated solitary waves.
The article was originally published in the Encyclopedia of Physics and to this day is still used as an important resource for understanding the dynamics of water waves.
"Water wave problems constitute an area of complex mathematics, and Wehausen's background in mathematics was exactly what the Office of Naval Research wanted.
