What is a Kelvin wave? The underwater pulse that could impact California
A Kelvin wave is a pulse of unusually warm water that travels beneath the ocean surface along the equator toward the Americas. When these warm underwater currents reach the West Coast, they can push sea surface temperatures up and influence weather patterns, potentially affecting rainfall, storm activity and coastal conditions in California. News coverage is explaining the phenomenon as meteorologists track its possible impact on the state's climate in the coming months.
