Rogue waves

Article Abstract:

Extreme waves evolve as a matter of addition of waves traveling in same direction and same speed and they can be expected but not predicted. Studies are now under way on how random eddies and vortices might, in theory, transform an otherwise regular wave pattern into one that is sporadic and violent.
