Scientists have discovered that ocean waves may become far more extreme and complex than previously imagined. The new study, published in Nature today, reveals that under specific conditions, where ...

The most powerful waves were discovered in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica, but the North Atlantic Ocean experienced the highest increase in wave energy over the past 40 years compared ...

Like ocean waves, these ripples are transverse ... so the peaks of the resulting wave are higher and the troughs are lower. If two waves meet each other out of phase, when the peaks of the first ...
