They travel great distances, guided around the curve of the earth by ionized layers in the upper atmosphere, and they are not difficult to detect. The explosion-born pulse of radio waves disappears quickly, but another radio effect lingers on.

...CRIMSON revealed Saturday that as a result of a long dry spell and seepage of salt water into the Charles at its mouth, the river has divided into two layers: a stagnant upper layer of fresh water and a deoxygenated lower layer of salt water.
