Kelvin Wave In Pacific Ocean Heads Toward California
A Kelvin wave, a pulse of unusually warm water moving eastward along the equatorial Pacific, is reported to be heading toward the US West Coast and California. Such waves are closely watched because they can influence ocean temperatures, marine ecosystems and coastal weather patterns, and they sometimes foreshadow El Nino conditions. Coverage so far is limited to environmental outlets, with no detailed regional response reported yet.
Why now: unusual ocean warming events draw attention because of their potential link to El Nino and impacts on California's climate and fisheries
