Greg Wagner and I just published a paper (link.springer.com/article/10.1...) on wave momentum. It is well known that waves packets in deep water have no momentum, yet it takes momentum to generate them in the first place. Where does that initial momentum go?
Deep Flows Transmitted by Forced Surface Gravity Waves - Water Waves
We examine a two-dimensional deep-water surface gravity wave packet generated by a pressure disturbance in the Lagrangian reference frame. The pressure disturbance has the form of a narrow-banded weak...

U.S. coastal flooding has increased in recent decades and is expected to worsen. A new study highlights promising research to improve coastal flood prediction accuracy and lead time—essential for protecting people, property, and infrastructure. Learn more: www.climate.gov/news-feature...
Evaluating obstacles and opportunities for seasonal coastal sea level forecasts
Accurately predicting seasonal changes in coastal sea levels is crucial for managing flood risks, yet current model limitations present challenges.

"Two months ahead of the usual annual peak of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, parts per million in air exceeded 430. Crossing 430 ppm was an entirely predictable but sad milestone. The rise is mostly caused by fossil fuel usage." - Ralph Keeling, director of the Scripps Oceanography CO2 program
430.33 parts per million (ppm) CO2 in air 10-Mar-2025 keelingcurve.ucsd.edu
The Keeling Curve
The Keeling Curve is a daily record of global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration maintained by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
