Scientists have long been interested in studying how winds influence ocean waves. 

 

NCAR Senior Scientist Peter Sullivan wanted to examine the relationship in reverse: How do waves affect the atmosphere?

"Most people focus on winds influencing waves because it’s the easiest to study in a laboratory," Sullivan said. "But nature works the other way, too."

 

The result is this striking 3D animation showing the influence of ocean waves on the air above.
