In this paper we demonstrate, for the first time that, standard Level 2 SRAL altimeter data from Sentinel-3 can be used to estimate Internal Solitary Wave (ISW) amplitudes and surface velocities. A ...

There is more to the ocean’s waves than just rolling and breaking. Most waves are not unidirectional; they’re not just moving across a two-dimensional plane, as described in many current models.

How to Safely Swim in Ocean Waves If You’re Used to Pools, Rivers, or Lakes. The key is learning to work with the water’s power—rather than waging a (losing) battle against it.

Another ocean heat wave in 2023 helped fuel the storm Gabrielle that flooded the North Island in February that year. “I’m concerned that these events are becoming normalized,” Noll said.

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 ...

A simplified anatomy of ocean waves. NOAA. Wind prompts ocean waves to grow progressively higher, longer and faster. During this stage, waves are “young” and hungry for wind input.
