Scientists have captured magnetic signatures from Earth's ocean tides in the finest detail yet. These faint signals, which certain satellites can detect when flying at very low orbits, may hold ...

That the surface of the earth itself may be subject to tides like those of the ocean has long seemed probable,* but there has been no tidal gauge to measure these heavings accurately. At the ...

I AM in entire sympathy with Mr. Lambert's plea in NATURE of June 21, p. 889, for further research on earth tides. It is much to be regretted that so little has hitherto been effected in that ...

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs ...

In the late 2010s, several factors aligned that enabled Swarm to record the magnetic signatures of ocean tides in unprecedented detail. One of these factors was a dramatic reduction in the sun's ...

Swarm launched in 2013 and has been collecting information about Earth's magnetic field ever since. But clear signals created by ocean tides are difficult to obtain, because they are so faint they ...
