wind wave
surface waves that occur on the free surface of bodies of water

seismic wave
seismic, volcanic, or explosive energy that travels through Earth's layers
rogue wave
relatively large and spontaneous ocean surface waves that occur far out at sea
surface wave
mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media

skywave

surface acoustic wave
acoustic wave traveling along the surface of a material exhibiting elasticity, with an amplitude that typically decays exponentially with depth into the substrate
Rayleigh wave
type of surface wave caused due to earthquake
Love wave
type of seismic wave
ground wave
radio wave propagating along the Earth's surface
surface plasmon polariton
electromagnetic waves that travel along an interface
Stoneley wave
Goubau line
single wire transmission line used to conduct radio waves at UHF and microwave frequencies
