| Zusammenfassung |
| The evidence of rogue wave existence all over the world during last five
years (2006–2010) has been collected based mainly on mass media sources.
Only events associated with damage and human loss are included. The waves
occurred not only in deep and shallow zones of the World Ocean, but also at
the coast, where they were manifested as either sudden flooding of the coast
or high splashes over steep banks or sea walls. From the total number of 131
reported events, 78 were identified as evidence of rogue waves (which are
expected to be at least twice larger than the significant wave height). The
background significant wave height was estimated from the satellite wave
data. The rogue waves at the coast, where the significant wave height is
unknown or meaningless, were selected based on their unexpectedness and
hazardous character. The statistics built on the selected 78 events suggests
that extreme waves cause more damage in shallow waters and at the coast than
in the deep sea and can be used for hazard assessment of the rogue wave
phenomenon. |
