While marine heat waves (MHWs) have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade, new research published today in Nature has found 80% of MHWs below 100 meters are independent of surface ...
When ocean waves reach shallow water, their complex interactions can produce lower-frequency infragravity waves. These waves ...
The finding runs counter to a common expectation. Because gases dissolve less easily in warmer water, scientists have generally thought higher sea temperatures would reduce CO2 absorption. Past ...
The measurement took place between December 21, 2024, and January 6, 2025, when Storm Eddie generated waves that traveled more than 15,000 miles (24,000 kilometers) across the globe. ESA scientists ...
Scientists from NOAA’s Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center are using autonomous surface vehicles called Wave Gliders to study ocean health in Hawaiʻi. Wave Gliders are circumnavigating each of ...

New analysis from Sofar Ocean finds that widely used marine forecasts can miss wave conditions associated with dangerous vessel ...
Experts say the Great Lakes can be more dangerous than the open ocean due to their volatile nature. Waves on the Great Lakes are steeper and closer together, causing choppy conditions and a rougher ...
