rogue waves
I've seen this topic come up here from time to time. The link below is
an interesting report in today's New York Times about some new research that shows rogue waves over 85 feet tall are, in fact, much more common than previously believed. There are a couple amazing photos! http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/11/sc...wave.html?8dpc Regards Jason Rogue Giants at Sea "...By one definition, the titans of the sea rise to heights of at least 25 meters, or 82 feet, about the size of an eight-story building. Scientists have calculated their theoretical maximum at 198 feet — higher than the Statue of Liberty or the Capitol rotunda in Washington. So far, however, they have documented nothing that big. Large rogues seem to average around 100 feet." By WILLIAM J. BROAD Published: July 11, 2006 |
