Ponce de Leon, S., Young, I.R., Waseda, T. and Osborne, A.R. (2022), “Special Issue: Extreme Waves”, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Vol. 10, 697.

The occurrence of exceptionally large waves in regions of high maritime traffic has severe consequences, ranging from complicating navigation routes to the loss of ships and human lives. This Special Issue on extreme waves compiled ten papers that discuss four broad topics of extreme wave research: storm waves, waves developed under hurricanes and cyclones, waves due to wave-current interaction, and rogue waves. The papers of the Special Issue used several approaches to study extreme waves: remote sensing (radar altimetry and SAR); in situ data; numerical wave modeling, and theoretical methods. The geographical focus was also broad, considering both global scales and regional studies (the Mediterranean Sea and the Agulhas Current region).
