Rogue waves, also known as freak waves or monster waves, are very large and unpredictable waves that occur in the open ocean. These waves can reach heights of over 30 meters and are often associated with offshore storms and strong currents. Other synonyms for rogue waves include freak sea, killer waves, giant waves, and storm waves. These terms are often used in maritime and weather reports to describe the dangerous conditions that can occur in the ocean. Despite improved forecasting and monitoring technologies, rogue waves remain a major threat to ships and offshore structures, and they continue to fascinate scientists and researchers who seek a better understanding of their causes and behavior.
