A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a method to control Kelvin wave excitation in superfluid helium-4. This breakthrough can refine our understanding of how energy moves in quantum fluids, ...

A research team has discovered a new type of wave in Lake Geneva: the V2 Kelvin wave. It meanders underwater along the shore ...

More accurately predicting periods of increased hurricane activity weeks in advance may become possible due to new research published this month. The study, led by the U.S. National Science Foundation ...

Draining the water from a bathtub causes a spinning tornado to appear. The downward flow of water into the drain causes the water to rotate, and as the rotation speeds up, a vortex forms that obeys ...

It's been a record-breaking 2020 hurricane season in the Atlantic basin. However, it's suddenly become very quiet with no storms being tracked and no storms expected to develop over the next five days ...

A woman in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, saw a strange, wavy cloud in the sky on Feb. 22, 2025, and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to crowdsource an answer. "Does anyone know what is happening here ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - There are many unique cloud formations across our planet, but one that stands out is a Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud. Kelvin-Helmholtz waves are “vertical waves in the air associated ...

Kelvin Waves: Currently observed moving eastward, they are active in various regions, including East Java, and are known to stimulate cloud growth. Low-Frequency Waves: These contribute to the overall ...

More accurately predicting periods of increased hurricane activity weeks in advance may become possible due to new research published this month. Research shows that twice as many hurricanes form two ...

Illustration of Kelvin waves on retracting quantized vortices after they met, crossed and exchanged tails -- a process called reconnection. A new study provides visual evidence that after the vortexes ...
