在气候变化的推动下,海洋膨胀正在全球各地造成越来越多的沿海破坏。 Ocean swells, fueled by climate change, are causing increased coastal damage across the globe.

往往由遥远的暴风雨引起的海洋膨胀正在长途跋涉,对沿海地区造成重大破坏,部分原因是气候变化。 Ocean swells, often caused by distant storms, are traveling longer distances and causing significant damage to coastal areas, partly due to climate change. 这些膨胀含有大量能量,随着它们接近浅水,高度不断升高,导致对沿海特性的风险增加。 These swells carry large amounts of energy, growing in height as they approach shallow waters, leading to increased risks for coastal properties. 科学家正在努力改进预测方法和预警系统,帮助尽量减少损害。 Scientists are working to improve prediction methods and warning systems to help minimize damage. 最近的例子包括从南太平洋到加利福尼亚和夏威夷的大规模波浪,以及来自北太平洋的波浪影响到智利。 Recent examples include massive waves from the South Pacific reaching California and Hawaii, and swells from the North Pacific affecting Chile.
