University of Queensland researchers have created a microscopic "ocean" on a silicon chip to miniaturize the study of wave ...

In December 2024, satellites captured an extraordinary phenomenon in the heart of the ocean—waves that soared to nearly 66 ...

Satellites captured record-breaking 66-foot waves from a single storm that traveled around Earth, revealing new insights into ...

Satellite data from the SWOT mission reveals how massive waves act as storm "messengers," carrying a storm's power across ...

The math of even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major ...

Remote sensing has become an indispensable tool in monitoring and understanding the dynamics of ocean winds and waves. Recent advances have integrated satellite‐based instruments such as ...

On New Year's Day 1995, a monstrous 80-foot wave in the North Sea slammed into the Draupner oil platform. The wall of water crumpled steel railings and flung heavy equipment across the deck—but its ...

Wave-induced mixing represents a critical process within the upper ocean, where the interplay of surface wave mechanics drives vertical transport of mass, energy and momentum. The resulting turbulence ...

When thinking of rogue waves breaking out in the middle of the ocean, for surfers at least, one liquid monstrosity comes to mind – Cortes Bank, the mythical big wave gauntlet breaking some 100 miles ...

Optical illusions occur naturally in different habitats and conditions across the world. Cloud formations can sometimes make ...

Tiny poops are supposed to sink to the seafloor, locking away carbon. But scientists have found that warm spells are ...

How high will the ocean rise under climate change? By 2050, scientists have a pretty good idea. But why does it matter where ...
