Term: Wave
Definition:

Data resulting from observations of wave experiments
and natural wave phenomena. Wave experiments are
typically active and natural wave phenomena are passive.
Examples of wave experiments include
coherent/incoherent scatter radars, radio soundings, VLF
propagation studies, ionospheric scintillation of beacon
satellite signals, etc. Examples of natural wave
phenomena include micropulsations, mesospheric gravity
waves, auroral/plasmaspheric hiss, Langmuir waves,
AKR, Jovian decametric radiation, solar radio bursts, etc.
