The US Navy maintains an indoor ocean capable of simulating some of the world’s worst weather conditions, even with waves only four feet tall. These tests rely on scale models, which highlight design ...

Deep below the surface of the ocean, unseen waves roil and churn the water. These internal waves, traveling between water layers of different temperatures and densities, draw cold, nutrient-rich water ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon ...
