How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T7570558 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Stoneley waves Context triple: [Rayleigh waves, relatedConcept, Stoneley waves]
-
A.
Rayleigh waves
Rayleigh waves are a type of surface seismic wave that travel along the ground with a rolling motion, causing both vertical and horizontal ground displacement.
-
B.
Langmuir circulation
Langmuir circulation is a wind-driven pattern of shallow, counter-rotating vortices in the upper ocean that organizes floating material into parallel streaks on the water surface.
-
C.
Rossby waves
Rossby waves are large-scale atmospheric and oceanic waves driven by Earth's rotation and the variation of the Coriolis effect with latitude, playing a key role in shaping global weather and climate patterns.
-
D.
surface-wave magnitude scale
The surface-wave magnitude scale is a seismic measurement system that estimates earthquake size using the amplitude of long-period surface waves recorded on seismograms.
-
E.
Wave
Wave is a 1979 studio album by American musician Patti Smith that blends punk, rock, and poetic lyricism and marked her last release before a long hiatus from recording.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
