Discussion on Session 5: Breaking and Freak Waves
Abstract From the presentations of Kjeldsen and Sand during this session one might be forgiven for expecting that “Freak” waves are to be found in almost any storm one cares to investigate. Were this to be so it would overthrow the accepted relationships between Hs and Hmax and the waves could not be considered as “Freak”. However there did appear to be many instances of such waves and all data owners should perhaps now have a close look at their data to see if undetected “Freaks” exist at their location.
