For typical ocean waves with a period around 10 seconds, this group speed is close to 10 m/s. In the case of opposite propagation direction the groups travel at a much larger speed, which is now 2π(f 1 + f 2)/(k 1 − k 2) with k 1 and k 2 the wave numbers of the interacting water waves. Wave groups generated by waves with same directions.
Winter brings less daylight and colder temperatures, which can disrupt sleep. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more common in winter due to the lack of sunlight, causing sleep disturbances.
Breaking swell waves at Hermosa Beach, California. A swell, also sometimes referred to as ground swell, in the context of an ocean, sea or lake, is a series of mechanical waves that propagate along the interface between water and air under the predominating influence of gravity, and thus are often referred to as surface gravity waves.
Like any self-respecting big wave surfer, the 24-year-old Slebir and his pals constantly watched the data captured by buoys hundreds of miles out in the Pacific Ocean that could predict wave ...

The ocean conducts sound very efficiently, particularly sound at low frequencies, i.e., less than a few hundred Hz. Temperature is the dominant factor in determining the speed of sound in the ocean. In areas of higher temperatures (e.g. near the ocean surface), there is higher sound speed.
The mixed layer plays an important role in the physical climate. Because the specific heat of ocean water is much larger than that of air, the top 2.5 m of the ocean holds as much heat as the entire atmosphere above it. Thus the heat required to change a mixed layer of 2.5 m by 1 °C would be sufficient to raise the temperature of the ...
Deep sleep refers to slow-wave sleep — a stage in the sleep cycle when brain waves slow down. Getting enough deep sleep is crucial for numerous bodily functions. But how to increase deep sleep ...
