Waves in the Southern Ocean have already been recorded over 20 metres in height, but new research shows they’re getting higher. A small but significant increase of 1.5 metres per second – 8 per cent – was noted by researchers who analysed approximately 4 billion observations from 31 satellites and 80 ocean buoys worldwide. “Although increases of […]

A quite amazing phenomena, toroidal bubbles can be found in many fluids. Technically, During the collapse of a bubble near a surface, a high-speed liquid jet often forms and subsequently impacts upon the opposite bubble surface. The jet impact transforms the originally singly-connected bubble to a toroidal bubble, and generates circulation in the flow around […]

First, a few basic mathematical facts about our oceans: …which made me think about the equation for water pressure at different depths. Pressure  increases by 1 atm with each 10 m of depth (at sea level the pressure is 1 atm). An “atm” is Atmospheric pressure, which is the force per unit area exerted against […]
