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 ...

Converting the power of water into energy is nothing new. Using ocean waves is. The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of ...

In theory, harnessing all the wave energy along the coasts of the United States could generate 2.64 trillion kilowatt hours of power. Cost and the corrosive nature of salt water are but two obstacles ...

An intense marine heat wave has developed off the U.S. West Coast, pushing sea surface temperatures more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal. The expanse of warm water in the Pacific Ocean, ...

Satellite data from the SWOT mission reveals how massive waves act as storm "messengers," carrying a storm's power across entire oceans. Satellites recorded the largest ocean swells ever seen from ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Climate change is giving us stronger, more destructive ocean waves ...

On the windward side of Oahu in Kaneohe Bay sits a giant buoy that could help move Hawaii’s electric grid toward more renewable resources by harnessing the motion of the ocean. The 826-ton buoy, the ...

Large waves near San Francisco have prompted warnings for Californians to remain out of the water. The National Weather Service (NWS) office in San Francisco issued a beach hazards statement early ...

Alessandro Toffoli receives funding from the Australia Research Council. We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue ...
