The rogue wave’s towering height was detected by a MarineLabs research buoy that was part of a broader system designed to monitor oceanic threats. Although it wasn’t the tallest rogue wave ...

Our research findings show that triad resonance can increase surface wave heights by more than 30% ... Our second paper demonstrates that monitoring and analysing these waves in real time could ...

The buoys also measure average wave height every 30 minutes. This wave fell within a period when the average was about 43 feet tall, the largest average ever recorded by Scripps coastal buoys.
