Kent, Were extreme waves in the Rockall Trough the largest ever recorded? Geophysical Research Letters, 33, L05613, 2006.Holliday, N. P., M. J. Yelland, R. W. Pascal, V/ R. Swail, P. K. Taylor, C. R. Griffiths, E. C. Kent, 2006: Were extreme waves in the Rockall Trough...
As plucky buoy K5 sat off the coast of Scotland, it encountered winds upwards of 50 MPH as the series of waves hit. The approximate location of the highest significant wave height in recorded history. "This is the first time we have ever measured a wave of 19 meters. It is a ...
Both body waves and a rich suite of surface waves can be identified, including both fundamental and first overtone Rayleigh and Love waves, and multi orbit Rayleigh waves. As recorded at InSight, the event includes energy ranging from below 1/30 Hz up to 35 Hz. In the context of the ...
At the time of its calving, A-68 was one of the largest ever recorded, measuring about 5,800 square kilometers (2,240 square miles) in area, roughly the size of Delaware or the island of Trinidad. Over time, these massive icebergs break into smaller pieces and eventually melt. Satellite...
InSight was sent to Mars with a highly sensitive seismometer, provided by France’s Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), to study the Red Planet’s deep interior. As seismic waves pass through or reflect off material inMars’ crust, mantle, and core, they change in way...
a GPS locator device and an instrument that follows movement.They used drones (无人机) to estimate the size of a whale's mouth area and how much food it could eat at one time.And they used instruments that recorded sound waves to estimate the amount of food in the waters near the ...
2024 is officially the hottest year ever recorded on Planet Earth, at least while humans have been around, according to the official tallies from meteorological organizations around the world. How much progress have we made on climate change?
The largest tsunami in Japan since 2000 occurred in 2011 and had a height of around 9.3 meters. The tsunami was caused by the Tohoku earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan and led to meltdowns at three reactors...
(Python sebae). The largest African pythons are among the biggest snakes in the world; they grow to gigantic proportions big enough to swallow a human whole. Thesesnakes, like all of the world’s giant snakes, are constrictors and have no venom. The largest rock pythons ever found don’t...
And they used instruments that recorded sound waves to estimate the amount of food in the waters near the whales. Because they eat so much, they also produce much more excrement, than scientists had thought. This provides important nutrients for ocean ecosystems. These nutrients help to form ...
