Scientists report 16 feet waves in Arctic Ocean. Why is this worrying?
hysics Laboratory at the University of Washington and W. Erick Rogers, from the Naval Research Laboratory at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, have measured waves that were over 16 feet in the Beaufort Sea, a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska and west of Canada's Arctic islands.

In the Arctic Ocean, researchers find big waves where there once was ice
transmit their recordings to satellites. Thomson and W. Erick Rogers of the Naval Research Laboratory recorded the waves in 2012, and wrote about their findings in Geophysical Research Letters this year. The average size of a wave was three to six feet, and the largest wave recorded was close to 29 feet.

Could 16-foot Arctic wave mean the end of ice in far north?
Shortly after the storm, Dr. Thomson and colleague Erick Rogers, an oceanographer with the US Naval Research Laboratory's field office at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, began gathering data from an undersea sensor fixed to a mooring 300 miles northeast of Barrow, Alaska. The sensor, som

Scientists Record 16-Foot Swells in Arctic Ocean, Quickening Ice Breakage
According to the Washington Post, the team published a study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters based on data they recorded two years ago. Jim Thomson and W. Erick Rogers recorded the highly uncharacteristic waves in the Beaufort Sea.

16-foot Waves Measured in Arctic Ocean Where There Was Once Only Ice
"It is possible that the increased wave activity will be the feedback mechanism which drives the Arctic system toward an ice-free summer," write Jim Thomson of the University of Washington in Seattle and Erick Rogers with the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Mississippi in the journal Geophysical

Sixteen-foot swells reported in once frozen region of Arctic Ocean
The wave measurements, using sensors beneath the surface communicating via satellite, were recorded by Jim Thomson of the University of Washington and W. Erick Rogers of the Naval Research Laboratory in 2012 and reported in anarticle in Geophysical Research Lettersthis year.
