Zusammenfassung |
Due to the potential disasters induced by rogue waves, research in this field
has increased rapidly in the last 2 decades. However, there are still a lot
of open questions left, including some classic ones, such as whether the
rogues waves are just rare events or not. One of the key reasons is that not
enough of the observed rogue waves have been investigated. China has a wide
sea area, but none of the research has addressed the observed rogue waves. In
the present study, 1 year of observed wave data from Jiangsu coastal area, China, are
analyzed. It is found that rogue waves are present, although the
wave heights are not very large; furthermore, the probability of their
occurrence is similar to the Rayleigh distribution prediction, due to the
local silty coastal topography. The characteristics of rouge waves are
investigated and the results indicate that a new type of rogue wave may
exist. |
