Kelvin wave expected to boost winter King Tides
Original: Kelvin wave this winter should add some height, impact to King Tides in November and December
A Kelvin wave moving through the Pacific this winter is expected to raise sea levels and intensify the King Tides due in November and December, according to the Lincoln Chronicle. The warm-water wave travels along the equator toward the coast, adding height to already high seasonal tides and potentially increasing coastal flooding along low-lying shoreline areas.
Why now: Residents and officials along the coast are preparing for higher-than-usual King Tide flooding this winter.
