Abstract

Cases of “freak waves” that occurred in the period from 2011 to 2018 and information on which is currently available are analyzed. In total, 210 cases of abnormally large waves that caused destruction, loss of human life, and injury are identified. A map of events is compiled, the sea depth for each case (deep/shallow waters, the coast) is determined, and the characteristics of freak waves are analyzed.
