Near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) are crucial energy sources for deep-sea mixing, but the origins of deep NIWs have ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Waves cause a disturbance of the medium through which they travel. This allows them to carry energy. The quantity of ...

The biggest, baddest waves aren’t born that way. Winds at sea generate waves that average ten feet high; during storms, 30-footers are common. But what creates waves the size of office buildings ...

Both detected gravity waves with near-inertial frequencies, aka waves with speeds similar to the natural rotation speed of the Earth. However, the results suggest that ERA5 underestimated the ...

Colossal gravitational waves—trillions of miles long—found for the first time. Detected by studying rapidly spinning dead stars, these giant ripples of spacetime likely came from merging ...

In 2015, a piece of equipment at an observatory in the US moved one quintillionth (10-18) of a meter. This tiny movement was the first recorded event of gravitational waves. And it helped confirm ...
