This flight had one wave event, 340 meters amplitude, yielding a "wave score" for this flight of 0.42.

Figure 2.   CTC.

Figure 3.  IAC for entire flight.  All isentropes are 5 K apart.  There's one bruief wave event at 53 ks.

Figure 4.  Zoom of the only wave event (14.7 hrs), consisting 1.5 cycle (two valleys and one peak), with wave amplitudes of 340 meters (at 11.2 km).

Figure 5.  This doesn't qualify as a wave event, but the isentropes are distorted somewhat.
