The Mystery of Gigantic Rogue Waves: Scientists Uncover Key Cause
Researchers from the University of Melbourne have discovered in Antarctica’s southernmost waters that wind plays a significant role in the formation of massive rogue waves, which are more common than previously thought.
An expedition from the University of Melbourne to the waters surrounding Antarctica’s southernmost points has revealed that wind is a key factor in the creation of enormous rogue waves. The study found that these unpredictable waves happen more often than previously believed, offering essential data to enhance future models for predicting rogue waves.
A rogue wave is a single swell that is much higher than nearby waves, which can damage ships or coastal infrastructure. Ocean waves are among the most powerful natural forces on Earth, and as global trends suggest ocean winds will blow harder because of climate change, ocean waves could become more powerful.
In a study recently published in Physical Review Letters, the research team led by Professor Alessandro Toffoli found that rogue waves emerge from strong wind forces and unpredictable waveform patterns, confirming an idea previously only demonstrated in laboratory experiments.
