Ripple here means "ripple current".
Ripple current is associated with the charge and discharge currents a capacitor sees and, in conjuction with the capacitors ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), determines the capacitor life.
This is because the heat (watts) generated in the capacitor is the usual I squared R, where R is the ESR and I is the Ripple current.
High Ripple is just another way of saying low ESR.Recommended reading - for your edification, are the technotes on electrolytic capacitors from evox rifa site. Note I've listed the link to the Australian and New Zealand site but just search Evox Rifa and select your region.
