@hey-leia.bsky.socialMassive underwater wave tied to El Niño moves along California coast
@thelolgic.bsky.socialYou cannot see it from shore, but a warm Pacific Kelvin wave is raising West Coast sea level by around 6 to 12 inches.
NC State’s Dillon Amaya says even 2 to 4 inches can double flood risk in low-lying areas as the super El Niño reaches the Americas.
@andybrwn.sfba.social.ap.brid.gyWheee!
El Niño to raise San Francisco Bay tides to flood levels this weekend https://www.sfchronicle.com/weather/article/coastal-flood-sf-bay-22467316.php #Wheee #KelvinWave #ElNino #ClimateChange
@bobchoat.comSouthern California will soon be hit with what is known as a Kelvin Wave due to the El Niño climate pattern. Watch this video to help you understand what this phenomenon is. #ElNiño #kelvinwave

@scottseattlewx.bsky.socialWhat is a “Kelvin Wave”? El Nino’s new sidekick is making waves along the West Coast and in the news. Blog today has the scoop, including what it means for #Seattle

Aquí lo tenemos también, en Brasil. Le denominan 'meteotsunami', una avenida o crecida ('surge') masiva de agua cálida, pero sin movimiento sísmico alguno que la cause.

A wave crashes into a sea wall protecting beachfront homes in Long Beach, California, where a boardwalk was damaged by Hurricane Marie.

What Is a Kelvin Wave? Let's explain...
A Kelvin wave is a massive, slow-moving movement of warm water that can travel thousands of miles across the Pacific.

@timgrecco.bsky.social#ElNiño
"The #KelvinWave doesn’t climb and crash like a typical ocean wave; rather, it swells the tides from beneath the surface. […] It also won’t transport water in the way a tsunami might, but creates conditions that enable higher sea levels to linger."

@sightmagazine.bsky.socialRising sea destroys homes, erases beaches in California. Is worse to come? @sightmagazine.bsky.social #California #Carslbad #LongBeach #risingseas #coastalerosion #ElNino #Kelvinwave #kingtides
@porterlr.bsky.socialthese are the days; what might Polo bring to the US west coast,
will the #KelvinWave amplify a Polo-induced meteotsunami?

@beachgoods.bsky.social
@surfertoday.bsky.socialImagine a massive bulge-like wave crossing the Pacific eastward, raising the sea level considerably. Kelvin waves cannot be surfed, but their impact is potentially devastating.

"Coastal communities are beginning to assess the damage from waves and flooding as Southern California braces for more potentially destructive conditions from a "coastally trapped Kelvin wave."
