Kelvin wave along California coast seen as sea level warning
Original: Kelvin wave: “What we’ll see at the worst this winter will be something that is closer to the norm later this century in
A powerful Kelvin wave is hitting the California coast, raising sea levels there this winter. Scientists describe the event as a potent warning: what the state experiences at its worst this winter is expected to become the norm later this century as climate change drives sea level rise. Commenters are highlighting the finding from a Scientific American report on the phenomenon.
Why now: The unusual coastal sea level rise is being discussed as a preview of future climate-driven sea level rise affecting California.
