Word -> "Mot"	Symbol	Unity	Definition
Random waves -> "Houle aléatoire"			Same as "Irregular waves". Wind generated ocean waves are random waves.
Rate of energy dissipation -> "Taux de dissipation énergétique"			See "Wind energy transfer".
Rate of non linear transfer -> "Taux de transfert non linéaire des composants énergétiques"			See "Wind energy transfer".
Rate of wind energy transfer -> "Taux d' énergie transférée"			See "Wind energy transfer".
Reflection -> "Réflexion"			The process by which swell is affected by the bottom and the contour of the basin in shallowing water.
Regular waves -> "Houle régulière"			Waves that have a period.
Residual current -> "Courant résiduel"			The result of the subtraction of the tidal current from the overall current. See also "Current", "Tidal currents",...
Rip current -> "Rip current"			Movement of the water at the point where two different currents meet or where a strong current encounter an irregular bottom. See also "Current",...
Ripples -> "Rides"			Wind generated gravity waves, they have a short period (less than 1s). See "Wind waves".
