What is special about a "high ampltude" tropical wave versus just a tropical wave?

Question

I know a lot about hurricanes and their formation, but this is one of the things I still haven't learned.

Answer 1

First, let's clear up a misconception that another answerer was spreading: a tropical wave has nothing to do tsunamis and tidal waves, it's an atmospheric wave.

If it's "high amplitude" that means that it's stronger, so it will be sharper and more well-defined. There should be an easily identifiable area of stormy weather associated with it. In the limit where it the amplitude becomes very low, it doesn't exist at all. As a tropical wave passes, you should have dry weather before the axis of it reaches you, with fewer clouds than usual, and then a day or two of enhanced convection and showers as the axis recedes from you

Answer 2

i would think a high amplitude wave, (also know as a tidal wave or tsunami) is special because instead of a normal amplitude, which lets say rises to a 4-5 foot crest and holds that crest for 20 minutes, a high amplitude wave rises to a100-125 foot crest and holds that crest for 2-3 hours...

Answer 3

it is many times from a close-by woman in a grass skirt on between the islands interior the South Pacific. it may recommend the two "hi" or "so long" If her hands are held low collectively as "waving" it may recommend she has extreme flatulation.
