Using data from more than a billion waves, scientists have used AI to find a formula for how to predict the occurrence of rogue waves.
"An increase in the risk of extreme wave events may be catastrophic, as larger and more frequent storms will cause more flooding and coastline erosion."
Ocean waves inject tiny particles called aerosols into the air—and those aerosols carry organic molecules more than 5,000 years old.
Monitoring bridges during hurricanes will give researchers real-time information about the effects of waves and rising water.
Increases in wind speed and wave height of 5-8% don't sound like much, but they bring real risks, say researchers.
"During the Tōhoku earthquake, a lot of people escaped to higher ground, like the roof, but they didn't go high enough."
