It is amazing what we can see with SWOT… In our Nature Comms paper we report observations of a tsunamis induced seiche in Greenland. With a little bit of Bayesian inference to rule out other possibilities for the anomaly.
NEW: Using new satellite altimetry technology, an Oxford-led study has confirmed that the September-October 2023 global tremors were caused by two mega tsunamis in Greenland that turned into trapped standing waves.

First direct observation of the trapped waves that shook the world |
Using a brand-new type of satellite altimetry, a study led by Oxford University has finally confirmed the theory that the cause of extraordinary global tremors in September - October 2023 was indeed

In the 1960s Munk and Cartwright developed the Response Method for analysis of ocean water levels but it has always been challenging to use. We have overcome these using machine learning to automate the analysis (published in JGR-ML). Please try our open source code: RTide doi.org/10.1029/2024...
RTide: Automating the Tidal Response Method
Specially constrained neural network automates the response method, enabling analysis and prediction of nonstationary tidal processes A method is developed to explain any prediction and analyze t...
