Researchers have used lab models to study how rogue waves form, but these don't always transfer over to the natural world.

When waves are trapped within a narrow channel, the modulational instability theory describes their rippling movement well. However, it starts to fall apart when you look at the real ocean. In open ...

Tiny droplets of sea spray generated at the ocean surface can affect the intensity and evolution of hurricanes and other tropical storms. Their impact, however, is not well understood because of the ...

An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and quantifying the complex airflow dynamics directly above the ocean surface ...

We measured the dynamic electrical properties of a spontaneously charged glass surface in an electrolyte solution by using a MHz-level surface acoustic wave (SAW) actuator to introduce a ...

Forecasters are watching these waves more closely than ever and understand more about how some of them become the seeds of tropical storms and hurricanes, said Kelly Núñez Ocasio, assistant ...

Acoustic waves could enhance the power of surface waves. Wonderful Nature A volcanic eruption in the Tonga archipelago in January 2022 triggered a tsunami that swallowed an island. Zuma Press, Inc.

The damping of surface waves in closed basins appears to be due to (a) viscous dissipation at the boundary of the surrounding basin, (b) viscous dissipation at the surface in consequence of surface ...
