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 ...

The converging waves swirl until they finally break into a 130-foot pillar of saltwater, in a process that scientists have ...

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 ...

In December 2024, satellites captured an extraordinary phenomenon in the heart of the ocean—waves that soared to nearly 66 feet high. This event, which unfolded during Storm Eddie, shattered records ...

A size comparison of the "Draupner Wave" to 3 school buses stacked horizontally on top of one another. On New Year’s Day 1995, a monstrous 80-foot wave in the North Sea slammed into the Draupner oil ...

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 ...

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 ...

A unique ocean phenomenon off the Western Australian coast has gone viral online after a pair of Perth thrillseekers used a drone to capture it on video. Years ago, producer Chris White discovered the ...

Researchers have used lab models to study how rogue waves form, but these don't always transfer over to the natural world. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

What if the key to solving the renewable energy puzzle has been quietly rolling beneath the surface all along? While solar panels and wind turbines dominate the conversation, the vast, untapped power ...
