There is more to the ocean’s waves than just rolling and breaking. Most waves are not unidirectional; they’re not just moving across a two-dimensional plane, as described in many current models.

NASA’s SWOT satellite reveals how small ocean features move heat and nutrients, reshaping climate and circulation models.

NASA’s SWOT satellite tracked large U.S. river flood waves for the first time, revealing their speed and size.

Small things matter, at least when it comes to ocean features like waves and eddies. A recent NASA-led analysis using data ...

Imagine tiny robots exploring the depths of the ocean, riding on underwater waves like surfers catching the perfect break.

or undulations in the ocean, but is atmospheric in nature, according to AccuWeather.com. Tropical waves are elongated areas, or troughs, of relatively low pressure that move east to west across ...

These seismic events shift the Earth's surface, displacing the water above them and creating waves that move quickly in all directions across the ocean. For an earthquake to generate a tsunami ...
