Experience high-speed ocean windsurfing with UNREEL as a skilled athlete carves across steep breaking waves, launches off the ...

Kelvin waves are difficult to see with the naked eye as they are large in scale, slow moving and don't break onshore like typical ocean waves. In this graphic, satellite radar altimetry measurements ...

A wave moving across the open Pacific Ocean can be almost impossible to notice from a ship’s deck, rising only a foot or two above the surrounding water even as it carries enough energy to devastate a ...

Scientists have discovered that ocean waves may become far more extreme and complex than previously imagined. The new study, published in Nature today, reveals that under specific conditions, where ...

As this year's El Nino continues to strengthen, potentially becoming the strongest on record, its impacts are being felt across the globe. While much of what's to come remains uncertain, El Nino ...

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 ...

We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue waves. Our results are now published in Physical Review Letters*. Rogue ...

The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

Kelvin waves are slow-moving pulses that travel beneath the ocean's surface.
