The Real Sea Monsters: On the Hunt for Rogue Waves
published by the Scientific American
This Scientific American article discusses how rogue waves were measured in 1955, which encouraged scientists to try to find the causes behind them. Several methods that attempt to predict these waves are described. The article includes a photo of an 18 m wave approaching a merchant ship in the Atlantic.
