Freak Wave Kinematics

Sand, Stig E. / Hansen, N. E. Ottesen / Klinting, Per / Gudmestad, Ovet T. / Sterndorff, Martin J.

Abstract Prototype records of extreme single waves recorded on the Danish Continental Shelf have been analysed in detail. Statistical calculations show that these waves do not belong to the traditional short term statistical distributions used for ocean waves. The waves are too high, too asymmetric and too steep.
