Rogue Waves

Rogue waves are unusually large and unexpected ocean waves that can appear suddenly in deep water. These waves can be more than twice the height of surrounding waves and are often referred to as "freak waves." They can pose significant dangers to ships and offshore structures because they can arise without warning and have immense power. Scientists study rogue waves to better understand their formation, which involves complex interactions of ocean currents and wave patterns, aiming to improve safety measures at sea.
