随着厄尔尼诺现象将温暖海水困在沿海地区，这种海洋现象可能会使海平面上升多达一英尺。
The ocean phenomenon could raise sea levels by up to a foot as El Niño keeps warm water trapped along the coast Concerns are mounting about an ocean phenomenon known as a kelvin wave that could raise sea levels along the California coastline by up to a foot, as scientists say El Niño is supercharging the threat of storm surges and flooding in the coming months.
人们对一种被称为“开尔文波”的海洋现象日益担忧，科学家表示，厄尔尼诺现象正在加剧未来几个月风暴潮和洪水的威胁，该现象可能导致加利福尼亚海岸的海平面上升多达一英尺。
The ocean phenomenon could raise sea levels by up to a foot as El Niño keeps warm water trapped along the coast Concerns are mounting about an ocean phenomenon known as a kelvin wave that could raise sea levels along the California coastline by up to a foot, as scientists say El Niño is supercharging the threat of storm surges and flooding in the coming months.
随着太平洋地区一场极其强烈的厄尔尼诺现象持续发展，该现象带来了一种奇怪的海洋变化。
As an incredibly strong El Niño continues to develop in the Pacific, the phenomenon brings with it a strange shift in the ocean. The kelvin wave phenomenon is created when trade winds that usually blow from South America towards Asia die down or reverse in El Niño years, setting off a massive, slow-moving slosh of water.
开尔文波现象是在厄尔尼诺年份，通常从南美洲吹向亚洲的信风减弱或反转时产生的，从而引发了大规模、缓慢移动的海水涌动。
