Heat waves don’t just strike on land — they can also occur in the ocean. And roughly a third of marine heat waves aren’t detectable at the ocean’s surface, a new study reports. The findings, published ...

As the early surf pioneers began to observe, and as advances in more recent wave forecasting has confirmed, there are a few ...

These types of waves form where a river meets the ocean. Waves break down the sand bars by the mouth of the river or next to ...

As wind blows across the surface of the sea, it transfers loads of energy — in the form of a wave — to the water below. In fact, research suggests the ocean’s waves could offer limitless renewable ...

NASA ’s SWOT system plotted the images of the storm against a tsunami forecast model from the NOAA. The study demonstrated ...

Observation satellites now offer an unprecedented view of ocean movements. They allow for precise tracking of the trajectory ...

A new study found that the ocean experiences the most intense marine heat waves at a depth of between 50 and 250 meters (160 and 820 feet), where a large portion of the ocean’s biodiversity can be ...

Scientists are running out of extreme adjectives to describe the state of the world’s oceans. Global sea surface temperatures are spiking off the charts. The North Atlantic Ocean, in particular, has ...

Maps of unusually warm sea surface temperatures are awash in reds and oranges this summer, illustrating a series of marine heat waves across much of the globe and raising fears for what the rest of ...

An intense marine heat wave that has fueled record-warm sea surface temperatures in the world’s oceans in recent months could linger well into the fall, according to an experimental forecast produced ...

A satellite deployed to measure ocean surface heights was up to the challenge when a massive earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula triggered a Pacific-wide tsunami in late July.
