Scientists Alarmed by Kelvin Wave Threatening to Raise California Ocean Levels a Foot
Original: Scientists Alarmed by "Kelvin Wave" That Could Raise California Ocean Level by a Whole Foot
Scientists are warning about a phenomenon known as a Kelvin wave, a large pulse of warm water moving along the equator toward the West Coast, which could raise ocean levels along the California coast by as much as a foot. Experts say the event could raise coastal flood risks and may signal broader changes in Pacific Ocean conditions.
Why now: A warning that ocean levels along California could rise by a foot is drawing attention because of its potential coastal flooding impact.
