Wind-driven surface waves are the most common wave types, but they aren't the only type of wave you'll find at sea. Tidal Waves When the moon, rather than the wind, tugs on the ocean's surface ...

A marine heat wave is a spike in a region's ocean surface temperatures that ranks among the top 10% warmest for that time period in that region when compared with the 1991-2020 average.

Heat waves don’t just strike on land — they can also occur in the ocean. And roughly a third of marine heat waves aren’t detectable at the ocean’s surface, a new study reports.The findings ...

As heat waves warm the Pacific Ocean, effects on marine life remain murky. A variety of fish swim along a kelp forest off Catalina Island in 2016. ... ocean surface temperatures, ...
