| For tsunami and tidal wave phenomena, see those respective articles.Rogue waves, also known as freak waves, monster waves or extreme waves, are relatively large and spontaneous ocean surface waves that are a threat even to large ships and ocean liners.Anecdotal evidence from mariners' testimonies and damages inflicted on ships suggested they occurred; however, their scientific measurement was only positively confirmed following measurements of the "Draupner wave", a rogue wave at the Draupner oil platform, in the North Sea on January 1, 1995.During this event, minor damage was inflicted on the platform, confirming that the reading was valid.In the course of the Project MaxWave, researchers from the GKSS Research Centre, using data collected by ESA satellites, identified a large number of radar signatures that may be evidence for rogue waves.Further research is under way to verify the method that translates the radar echoes into sea surface elevation.In February 2000, a British oceanographic research vessel sailing in the Rockall Trough west of Scotland encountered the largest waves ever recorded by scientific instruments in the open ocean.History

9.Published in Fall 1993 issue of Mariner's Weather Log.Rayleigh distribution of wave heights.Rogue waves are also known to occur on the inland Great Lakes, which are more like large inland seas.Perhaps most famously such inland freak waves are believed, according to some reconstructions, to be responsible for the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald in November 1975 (see below).Tsunamis are mass displacement generated waves which propagate at high speed and are more or less unnoticeable in deep water; they only become dangerous as they approach the shoreline and do not present a threat to shipping (the only ships lost in the 2004 Asian tsunami were in port).Causes
The phenomenon of freak waves is still a matter of active research, so it is too early to say clearly what the most common causes are or whether they vary from place to place.However, since this thesis does not explain the existence of all waves that have been detected, several different mechanisms are likely, with localised variation.According to this hypothesis, coast shape or seabed shape directs several small waves to meet in phase.This results in shortening of wavelength, causing shoaling (i.It seems possible to have a freak wave occur by natural, nonlinear processes from a random background of smaller waves.Such a monster, and the abyssal trough commonly seen before and after it, may last only for some minutes before either breaking, or reducing in size again.The NLS is only valid in deep water conditions, and in shallow water an alternative such as the Boussinesq equation is used.Rogue waves are not freaks at all but are part of normal wave generation process, albeit a rare extremity.While it is unlikely that wind alone can generate a rogue wave, its effect combined with other mechanisms may provide a fuller explanation of freak wave phenomena.In this case, focusing is primarily due to different waves coming into phase, rather than any energy transfer processes.Further analysis of rogue waves using a fully nonlinear model by R.Gibbs (2005) brings this mode into question, as it is shown that a typical wavegroup focuses in such a way as to produce a significant wall of water, at the cost of a reduced height.University, Sweden in August 2006 showed that normal stochastic wind driven waves can suddenly give rise to monster waves.Applications
The possibility of the artificial stimulation of rogue wave phenomena, for use as a weapon or for other purposes, has attracted research funding from DARPA, an agency of the United States Department of Defense.Bahram Jalali and other researchers at UCLA studied microstructured optical fibers near the threshold of soliton supercontinuum generation and observed rogue wave phenomena.After modeling the effect, the researchers announced that they had successfully characterized the proper initial conditions for generating rogue waves in any medium.It must have been an incredible wave to have come up 133 feet of rock and then a further 87 feet of lighthouse tower to cause so much damage.Although there were no surviving witnesses, a rogue wave has been theorized to be responsible.The wave carried away part of the fore bridge and smashed the guardrail stanchions.One passenger was fatally injured and several other passengers were hurt.In 1933 in the North Pacific, the U.Navy oiler USS Ramapo encountered a huge wave.Queen Mary listed briefly about 52 degrees before the ship slowly righted herself.The matter is related by Daniel Allen Butler in his book The Age of Cunard and by Walter Ford Carter in No Greater Sacrifice, No Greater Love.The Wilstar, a Norwegian tanker, suffered structural damage from a rogue wave in 1974.Discovery Channel reconstruction pointed towards freak waves as the cause.Atlantic, but rescuers found only "a few bits of wreckage."Bridge windows on both ships were smashed, and all power and instrumentation lost.Footage of the rogue wave appears on an episode of Deadliest Catch.Coast Guard helicopters on Search and Rescue missions.The claim first appeared in the terms of reference for the EU's Max Wave project in 2001, without any supporting evidence.The claim achieved wider currency after it was picked up by the European Space Agency in its 2004 press release about freak waves observed from space (see External Links below).Rogue waves in popular culture
The film Poseidon from 2006 explores the capsizing of an ocean liner by a rogue wave and the struggle of passengers to survive.The film is a remake of The Poseidon Adventure from 1972, itself an adaptation of Paul Gallico's novel, which was published in 1969.The earliest reference seems to be in the press release by the European Space Agency (cited at the page bottom), and first quoted as "200 large ships of 600 ft long or more in the past two decades sunk without trace".Holliday, NP, MJ Yelland, RW Pascal, VR Swail, PK Taylor, CR Griffiths, and EC Kent (2006).Were extreme waves in the Rockall Trough the largest ever recorded?Freak waves spotted from space.National Weather Service (April 22, 2005).Retrieved on May 8, 2006.The Storm: Stolt Surf in the North Pacific, 1977, Petersen, Karsten, December 8, 2003; retrieved July 11, 2006.See Copyrights for details.Tips, code samples, technical papers and more.SDTimes, December 19, 2007: Rogue Wave Hangs 10.Any product that makes it to a 10th release has to have more than just "something" going for it."Rogue Wave Software exceeded our expectations.Copyright Rogue Wave Software, Inc."Are you sure you want to block this user?Subterranean Best of 2007!Hey Everyone We're heading backout on the road this September, supporting the amazing Feist!Click here to purchase tickets for many of the shows.The login is "rogue" and the password is "wave".Click here for the Rogue Wave webstore."Are you sure you want to delete this comment?"European tour with Nada Surf?!?SO GOOD on craig ferguson!That European tour looks amazing!Walt Disney Concert Hall.Can you direct me to where I can find an address to send you guys a copy?Zach Rogue you look just like this guy that works at this school i go to...Well have a nice day Bye!Love your music and I was hoping you could put up kicking the heart out.Thanks for being my friend.Excellent show at Disney Hall last night!You guys should think about coming to HAWAII and doing a show with Jack Johnson or something, since your guys are on the same label, every year he does the Kokua festival, you should come.Lake Michigan on my page to represent!!He will never be forgotten.HOPE THAT ONE DAY WHEN YOU ARE NOT TO BUSY YOU WILL LISTEN TO MY MUSIC THAT MY DAD PUT ON MY SPACE.Id + " Link: " + targetLink.Rogue Wave is an indie rock band from Oakland, California, (formerly signed to Sub Pop, now to Brushfire Records), and headed by Zach Schwartz (a.Rogue Wave is featured on the Stubbs: The Zombie Soundtrack performing a cover of Buddy Holly's "Everyday".Out of the Shadow track, "Every Moment", appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Napoleon Dynamite.However, the song didn't appear in the movie itself.In addition, the song "Eyes" was featured in the Ryan Reynolds movie Just Friends and in two episodes of the NBC drama Heroes along with an episode of Friday Night Lights.They also had their song "Kicking the Heart out" on an episode of Weeds on Showtime.Mix 5, a collection of songs used in the show.Most recently the song "Lake Michigan" was used in an ad for Microsoft's MP3 player Zune.Farrell himself had replaced original bassist Sonya Westcott in the fall of 2004.Farrell died in Oakland CA, from "massive smoke inhalation" suffered in an apartment fire caused by a space heater.Pat Spurgeon has played with bands Antenna, Stranded at the Drive In, Ramona the Pest, Brando, Steve Kowalski, Lessick, and has also released solo work as The Phantom Drummer.Gram Lebron has been involved in the bands Long and Golden, Schrasj, Sad Like Crazy, Conundrum, Jessica Six, All Transistor and has also released solo work as Golden Gram.Patrick Abernethy was formerly a keyboard player with Beulah before joining Rogue Wave.Band members
