The instability of Stokes waves (steady propagating waves on the surface of an ideal fluid with infinite depth) represents a fundamental challenge in the realm of nonlinear science. A team of ...
Wave energy has long been seen as a promising source of clean electricity. The ocean is always moving, and that motion ...
Oceanic internal waves are a major driver for turbulent mixing in the ocean, which controls the global overturning circulation and the oceanic heat and carbon transport. Internal waves are observed to ...
Oceanic Internal Waves (OIWs) are subsurface gravity waves that strongly influence ocean mixing, nutrient transport, and maritime operations. Detecting OIWs from SWOT hydro-logical satellite imagery ...
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 ...
El Niño is back. By late fall 2026, forecast models give a 2-in-3 chance of a strong-to-very strong El Niño affecting the ...
