Extreme Ocean Waves (2008, background): “Many observations of extreme waves in the ocean, nonetheless, have been reported in conditions of arbitrary water depth with k0h < 2 (Haver and Andersen 2000; Trulsen 2007; Babanin et al. 2011; Chien et al. 2002).”
Numerical modeling of extreme rogue waves generated by directional energy focusing (2007, background): “of occurrence [35], rogue waves can cause severe damage to vessels or fixed ocean structures.”
Physical Mechanisms of the Rogue Wave Phenomenon (2003, background): “Recently, Haver and Andersen [2] put the question, what is a freak wave: rare re of a typical statistics or typical realization of a rare population.”
Dramas of the sea: episodic waves and their impact on offshore structures (2002, background): “(full scale wave data collected by Statoil (Haver and Anderson, 2000)).”
