The objective of this paper is the identification of areas of extreme wave events, in which
rogue waves of exceptional height and shape do occur. These extreme waves are …

Within the last 20 years at least 200 supercarriers have been lost, due to severe weather
conditions. In many cases the cause of accidents is believed to be 'rouge waves', which are …

Within the last years a considerable number of large ships have been lost due to severe sea
state conditions. The cause of accidents are in many cases believed to be rogue waves …

Heavy sea states and severe weather conditions have caused the loss of more than 200
super carriers within the last 20 years. In many cases single 'rogue waves' of abnormal …

Safety of shipping is an ever growing concern. In a summary, Faulkner investigated the
causes of shipping casualties (2002,“Shipping Safety: A Matter of Concern,” Ingenia, The …

This study, which is performed in the framework of the European Project MAXWAVE, deals
with both theoretical aspects of extreme waves description as well as new techniques to …

It would be highly desirable to have a global monitoring tool for the detection of freak or
rogue ocean surface waves. Based on the SAR imaging theory of ocean surface waves …

Records of free-surface elevations from the Polish territorial waters are analyzed with
emphases on the presence of extreme waves, wave groups and extreme wave events …

The need to identify the likelihood of the occurrence of rogue waves is addressed here. As
part of the MAXWAVE project, a shipping casualty database is created, and wave model …

The properties of individual wave groups in space and time utilizing synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) images and nautical radar image sequences are studied. This is possible by the …
