Nature

According to Discovery News, scientists have finally managed to get some images of what, as I understand it, appears to be giant undersea waves, in the moment of breaking. This is supposed to have important implications for global climate research.

I know nearly nothing about this subject, and will not try to say anything clever about it. I publish the link because of the poetry inherent in pictures of natural phenomena that are both elusive, and on a great scale. If any oceanographers are reading this, feel free to teach me!

I came across this graphical blog, and wanted to share it with whatever readers I might have that haven’t already discovered it on their own. It consists of diagrams of different ideas and
concepts, and this isn’t as dry as it might sound: It’s written with both humor and insight. Some are funny, some are cute, some are striking, some takes a while to understand…

… and that’s about everything I can say. The whole point of the blog is, after all, to show things with the help of graphics, that would be difficult to get across with only words. So go there yourself. Indexed.blogspot.com.
