BONUS: Kelvin Wave - the '80s Power Ballad
What happens when ocean science meets an '80s power ballad?
Oceanographer and coastal scientist Dr. Greg Dusek created Kelvin Wave, an AI-generated song and music video that tells the story of Kelvin waves, El Niño, coastal flooding, and rising seas.
The project was created by Dr. Dusek using Claude.ai for the lyrics and visuals, Suno for the music, and real NOAA water level data to help tell the scientific story.
It's catchy, dramatic, and packed with real science.
We're sharing the complete song as a special bonus episode of Atmosphere.
