FARGO — The Moon exerts a gravitational force upon the Earth, but because this force is related to distance, it is slightly stronger on the side of the Earth nearest the moon and slightly weaker on ...

The study of ocean tide loading effects and their corrections through Global Positioning System (GPS) estimations has evolved significantly over recent decades. Ocean tide loading models quantify the ...

Almost 90% of the extra heat trapped by greenhouse gases (GHGs) has been absorbed by the oceans, making them steadily warmer ...

King tides are expected to hit parts of Washington state, including Olympia and Bellingham. The unusually high tides are a “dramatic feature of Washington winters,” Washington Sea Grant said in a ...
