I like the way the solar heat dives into the ocean at the last moment.

This is the fifth in a series of reposts from gregladen.com on global warming.
During the 1970s and 80s, creationists had a long list of reasons to doubt evolution, and every one of those reasons was wrong. But they had so many reasons, and it was so hard to keep track of them all, each with…

There are a few theories about why sea turtles make occasional excursions into very deep (> 1000 m) waters of the bathyal zone. These involve escape from predation, thermoregulation, and prey availability. In the first two scenarios, sharks are fewer in deep-water, so turtles can evade predation…
A paper just published in Science Magazine helps explain variation we see in the long term Carbon-pollution caused upward trend Earth's surface temperatures. The research also, and rather ominously, suggests that a recent slowdown in that trend is likely to reverse direction in the near future,…
I don't think they meant to do that, but it models the physics faithfully. Light would curve towards the denser, more moisture and salt laden air above the ocean surface.
Oops, "faithfully" but not to scale obviously.
Oh, it was some time ago: Snell's law encapsulates the basic physics.
I was wondering about that.
Hey, maybe they got it right on purpose! Or, if wrong, on porpoise. (because it does look sort of like porpoises diving into the water)
