In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have developed the first controlled method for exciting and observing ...

This image shows the path of the Kelvin waves that interact with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and push warmer waters under the ice shelves of the West Antarctic Peninsula. These waves are ...

But few are fortunate enough to see Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, which look like a pattern of ocean waves in the sky. Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, also known as fluctus clouds, is a rare phenomenon that's ...

Anne Wilkie posted on X. What she saw was a Kelvin-Helmholtz wave cloud, named after Hermann von Helmholtz, who discovered the atmospheric instability that leads to this phenomenon. These waves in the ...
