Wave beams mix and stir the ocean to create climate
Description: Ocean circulation patterns have a profound effect on global climate. Waves deep within the ocean play an important role in establishing this circulation, arising when tidal currents oscillate over an uneven ocean bottom. The internal waves that Here investigators report how to tell which way internal waves will go. The proposed theory unifies several previously understood explanations of wave propagation.
