Rogue waves remain something of a mystery. Long believed to be a myth or an exaggeration, they haven`t been the subject of any kind of serious in-depth research
- until now. This book makes rigorous marine science accessible to all, exploring the causes & frequency of rogue waves, & the reasons why some waves become killer monsters. With anecdotes, historical reports & objective analysis, all illustrated with evocative & rare photographs, Michel Olagnon`s groundbreaking book is a definitive contribution to our understanding of this much-feared phenomenon. Amongst other questions in the book, he examines:- How are rogue waves created?- How do they live & die?- Are there different types?- Do they appear from nowhere?- Can ships & boats cope with them?- What lessons can be learned from past encounters?- Will meteorologists be able to provide warnings? Authoritative but highly readable, this is a fascinating & unique study into rogue waves, offering insights for all readers, but crucial advice for those who might encounter this dangerous phenomenon at sea.
