  Los Angeles, CA (SPX) Jun 26, 2017 First reported by Spacedaily.com on December 20, 2016, the great American eclipse has been a daily occupation for my mind and wallet. Hours and hours have been spent with this NASA Total Solar Eclipse Interactive Map. Of course, Expedia played an important role in ruling out locations. Idaho? Forget about it. Oregon. Oh Oregon. I explored the trails of Oregon more that Lewis and Clark to find the perfect spot. The Coast of Oregon was compelling. Corvallis, Oregon really was my first choice as my N ... read more |

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 are generated by this process stir and mix the ocean, bringing cold, deep water to the surface to be warmed by the sun.
