Freak waves spotted from space
things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmm


The shady phenomenon of freak waves as tall as 10 storey buildings has finally been proved, the European Space Agency (Esa) said on Wednesday.

Sailors often whisper of monster waves when ships sink mysteriously but, until now, no one quite believed them.

As part of a project called MaxWave - which was set up to test the rumours - two Esa satellites surveyed the oceans.

During a three week period they detected 10 giant waves, all of which were over 25m (81ft) high.

I'm guessing its when the occilations of many different wave systems distill to a common denominator at a specific point in the wavelength frequencies

"Two large ships sink every week on average," said Wolfgang Rosenthal, of the GKSS Research Centre in Geesthacht, Germany. "But the cause is never studied to the same detail as an air crash. It simply gets put down to 'bad weather'."

Most happen in shallow water and are caused by underwater landslides when a bit of the continental shelf gives out.
