August 13 , 2024 18 hrs 0 min 24 0
  • Rogue waves are unusually large waves compared to ones which come before and after, pose a threat to ships, coastal and offshore infrastructure, and human lives.
  • There is no method existed to forecast rogue waves until now.
  • Using billions of data points collected by a network of 172 ocean buoys, an artificial intelligence has trained to distinguish wave patterns that preceded rogue waves, up to five minutes in advance.
  • The WMO sea state code characterises sea state based on wave height on a scale of 0 (no waves) to 9 (waves over 14 m).
