Super El Niño's Kelvin wave could lift California sea levels by up to 30 centimetres

Researchers warn an internal Kelvin wave from this year's super El Niño could lift California sea levels by up to 30 cm once it reaches the coast. The raised water would add to winter storm surges, though the oceanographer quoted expects it to distort tides for weeks.

Models of Scotland's Seagreen wind farm show turbine foundations cooling summer seas by 0.1 to 0.3 degrees Celsius

Modelling of Scotland's Seagreen wind farm in Scientific Reports finds turbine foundations cool summer sea surfaces by about 0.1 to 0.3 degrees Celsius. How big that effect gets depends on season, tide and water layering, so the study recommends timing monitoring for strongly stratified periods.
