Kelvin waves: the underwater pulse that could shape California's weather
Original: What is a Kelvin wave? The underwater pulse that could impact California
NewsNation is explaining Kelvin waves, large pulses of unusually warm water that travel eastward along the equatorial Pacific beneath the surface. These events can shift ocean temperatures, strengthen storms and influence whether California sees heavy rainfall, making them closely watched indicators for forecasters tracking El Niño-style patterns and the state's water outlook.
Why now: A new Kelvin wave could alter Pacific Ocean temperatures and raise concerns about upcoming California storms and rainfall.
