New research improves ocean weather forecasts, enhancing public safety and economic growth U.S. National Science Foundation-supported researchers published a new paper that explains how atmospheric wind affects eddies, an ocean weather phenomena of spinning ocean currents. “Our theory and findings provide a roadmap for incorporating interactions between winds and ocean eddies into operational and long-term forecasting,” said […]
Tiny ocean wave vibrations from the Gulf of Alaska — too subtle for humans to notice — can travel through land as far north as Alaska’s Arctic coastline. These and other low-frequency vibrations generated daily by ocean waves offer insights into climate change. Research by doctoral student Sebin John at the University of Alaska Fairbanks […]
