Abstract

The data of rogue wave accidents reported in mass media during 2006–2010 years are collected and analysed. The collection includes 106 events, which are classified by their validity as true (78) and possible (28) and by the location of their occurrence: we distinguish deep, shallow and coastal rogue waves, which occurred in deep/shallow waters or at the coast. The validity of the event has been estimated by the rogue wave height, which should be twice larger than the significant wave height (significant wave height has been taken from satellite data), and/or by the associated hazard. It is shown that rogue waves cause especially high damage in shallow waters and at the coast. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012
