• El Niño's Dreaded 'Kelvin Wave' Is About to Hit California (gizmodo.com) — Malibu's shrinking beaches could take another hit as an El Niño–driven "Kelvin wave" pushes unusually warm water toward Southern California, temporarily raising sea levels by up to a foot. Scientists warn this surge, combined with long-term climate change and land subsidence, may worsen local flooding and erosion this fall and winter, even as statewide emergency preparations ramp up.
