Re: El ciclón Epsilon generó una «ola asesina» en el Atlántico
Rogue waves (also known as freak waves, monster waves, episodic waves, killer waves, extreme waves, sneaker waves, and abnormal waves) are unusually large, unexpected and suddenly appearing surface waves that can be extremely dangerous, even to large ships such as ocean liners.
The first real evidence in the XIX/XX centuries is the episode of the Flannan Isles Lighthouse (1900) – three lighthouse keepers vanished after a storm that resulted in wave-damaged equipment being found 34 metres (112 ft) above sea level.
