A new study simulates how ocean warming due to climate change will affect the electromagnetic signal emitted by ocean tides over the next century.Read More »Ocean Sciences
European scientists use satellite sensors to detect light reflected off waves at the ocean's surface, which could help improve wave forecasts.Read More »Ocean Sciences
Rogue waves form without warning and can tower more than 25 meters high. A new mathematical approach shows promise at simulating how high these waves can be.Read More »
