摘要：

Two graphs based on field and experimental data assembled from a variety of sources are given showing how the wavelength, flatness and grain size of wave ripple marks in the stratigraphic record can be interpreted in terms of the near-bed water particle orbital diameter and maximum orbital velocity induced by progressive surface waves. The graphs lead to estimates of wave period, from which the environmental setting and possible water depths and wave heights can be judged. -from Author
