  Ocean surface wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Ocean surface waves are surface waves which occur at the surface of an ocean.
As the wind blows, pressure and friction forces associated with the wind perturb the equilibrium of the ocean surface.
Such waves are distinct from tides, caused by the moon and sun's pull, and tsunamis that are caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides.

 Ocean in Motion: Waves - Characteristics
Wave height is a vertical distance between a wave's crest and the next trough.
A wave period can be measured by picking a stationary point and counting the seconds it takes for two consecutive crests or troughs to pass it.
In deep water, a wave is a forward motion of energy, not water.

 Wave Motion
According to Ned Mayo (see Ref), the highest reliably measured ocean waves were reported by officers of the Navy oiler USS Ramapo in the North Pacific on February 7, 1933.
The period of the wave was 14.8 seconds and its wavelength was calculated to be 342 meters.
Using the wave velocity expression for this wavelength in the deep water limit, the wave speed is calculated to be 23 m/s.

As is shown on the figure, wave height is defined as the height of the wave from the wave top, called the wave crest to the bottom of the wave, called the wave trough.
The wave length is defined as the horizontal distance between two successive crests or troughs.
The wave length during storms tend to decrease; some may be as small as 15 meters (50 feet).

 Oceanography: waves
The continental shelf of 100m is a very shallow area for these waves and they rise, form steep crests and very large horizontal water movements, which over-run low lying areas, rip boats from their moorings and may bare the sea to a depth of 5m or splash against the coast to a height of 20-30m.
The wave it caused, denuded the sides of the bay up to 516m high near the slide, and the rest of the shoreline between 200 and 30m high as it moved away towards the entrance.
At its foot, the wave meets a boundary that won't move and as a consequence, the water particles move relative to that boundary.

 Ocean Surface Waves
The wave is moving to the right and the particles of water at the surface move up and down as shown by the small vertical arrows.
These waves are manifested as undulations of the ocean surface as seen in figure 1.3.
For water waves with wavelengths of a few centimeters or less, surface tension becomes important to the dynamics of the waves.

 ESA Portal - Ship-sinking monster waves revealed by ESA satellites
Once dismissed as a nautical myth, freakish ocean waves that rise as tall as ten-storey apartment blocks have been accepted as a leading cause of large ship sinkings.
Offshore platforms have also been struck: on 1 January 1995 the Draupner oil rig in the North Sea was hit by a wave whose height was measured by an onboard laser device at 26 metres, with the highest waves around it reaching 12 metres.
The fact that rogue waves actually take place relatively frequently had major safety and economic implications, since current ships and offshore platforms are built to withstand maximum wave heights of only 15 metres.

Analysis of the ocean state around this waves shows that the wave train as a whole is weakly nonlinear and has relatively small bandwidth.
With a wave maker at the end of the tank one creates a signal in the form of a wave train where the wave length varies, with the shortest waves in front.
The problem with this explanation of freak waves is the following: To have a significant effect from this process it is required that the waves enter the zone of variable currents with a single direction.
