Wellental Explanation: Warum nicht Wellentäler? den Ausdruck gibt's doch. le creux d'une vague > das Wellental Nach der Fahrt durch meterhohe Wellentäler landen die Insassen der Rettungskapseln in einer Off-Shore-Forschungsstation. http://www.abendblatt.de/daten/2005/12/30/518105.html Übersetzt auf Deutsch: Scheiß hohe Wellen. Wir sind alle kurz vor einem doppelten Bandscheibenvorfall, so knallt das Boot in meterhohe Wellentäler. http://tinyurl.com/2beffx -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 Stunden (2007-11-12 12:43:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ich finde, man könnte hier trotz Tikimayers Hinweis mit "Wellentäler" übersetzen, es ist von Ulrike ja als literarischer Text bezeichnet. wie z.B. hier: Die 180 Meter lange "Voyager" war am Vortag zwischen den spanischen Balearen und Sardinien in einen schweren Sturm mit orkanartigen Böen und bis zu 14 Meter tiefen Wellentälern geraten. http://www.schlauchboot-online.at/forum/archive/index.php/t-... also z.B.: man konnte fünf Meter tiefe Wellentäler beobachten, während die Windgeschwindigkeit 120 km/h erreichte. mir war aber in der Tat nicht bewusst, dass man "creux" auch einfach zur Angabe des Seegangs (Höhe der Wellen) benutzt.

Notes to answerer Asker: Ich glaube ich bleibe bei Wellental.Vielen Dank.
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) neutral  Cornelia Mayer: Natürlich gibt's den Begriff Wellental, aber man gibt auf Deutsch den Seegang mit der Höhe der Wellen und nicht mit der Tiefe der Wellentäler an. 32 mins   -> danke für den Hinweis, da hab ich wieder was dazugelernt...
