Original: Scientists Alarmed by "Kelvin Wave" That Could Raise California Ocean Level by a Whole Foot

Scientists are warning that a Kelvin wave, a large pulse of warm water moving along the equator toward the West Coast, could raise ocean levels along the California coast by as much as a foot. The phenomenon is being linked to developing warm ocean conditions and could worsen coastal erosion and flooding risks, prompting concern among climate and ocean researchers.

Why now: Reports of a possible foot-high rise in California sea levels have raised alarm over flooding and climate impacts.
