Kelvin Wave In Pacific Ocean Heads Toward California
A large Kelvin wave, an eastward-moving pulse of warm water, is travelling through the Pacific Ocean toward the California coast. These ocean events can raise sea levels and water temperatures along the US West Coast and are closely watched as possible precursors to El Niño conditions.
Why now: The wave's arrival could affect West Coast weather and ocean conditions, fueling interest in a possible El Niño.
