Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Christian Kharif, Efim Pelinovsky & Alexey Slunyaev Publisher: Springer ISBN: 978-3-540-88418-7 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 222 Description: Rogue waves are the focus of this book. They are among the waves naturally observed by people on the sea surface that represent an inseparable feature of the Ocean. Rogue waves appear from nowhere, cause danger, and disappear at once. They may occur on the surface of a relatively calm sea and not reach very high amplitudes, but still be fatal for ships and crew due to their unexpectedness and abnormal features. Seamen are known to be unsurpassed authors of exciting and horrifying stories about the sea and sea waves. This could explain why, despite the increasing number of documented cases, that sailors’ observations of “walls of water” have been considered fictitious for a while.
