hula de fund/ opozitie/ crestere, dezvolare, avant


Explanation:
ground·swell (groundswl)
n.
1. A sudden gathering of force, as of public opinion: a groundswell of antiwar sentiment.( de aici opozitie)
2. A broad deep undulation of the ocean, often caused by a distant storm or an earthquake.( de aici hula de fund)


HÚLĂ2, hule, s.f. Mişcare ondulatorie a suprafeţei mării, urmând după o furtună sau după o briză puternică; p. ext. furtună pe mare. – Din fr. houle.

"Hula de fund, pornita alaltaieri de vantul naprasnic din est, a impins spre tarm reziduurile petroliere din larg. Pe plajele din Mamaia si Navodari, turtele de smoala, cu diametre intre 0,5/2 cm, formau la un moment dat o dara continua, lata pana la 20 de cm." http://www.adevarul.ro/articole/2005/poluare-cu-smoala-pe-pl...

Uite cateva sinonime :http://encarta.msn.com/thesaurus_561575434/groundswell.html

Fara mai mult context doar asta pot sa spun. Poate fi si o organizatie cum a spus Ella in referinta postata.
Se poate folosi in mai multe feluri, de exemplu: "there is no groundswell of support behind this movement", in acest context groundwave se poate inlocui cu rise, wave, upsurge.

Sper ca te ajuta, nu stiu daca are sens pentru voi asa cum are pentru mine :P
