AI Predicts Rogue Waves for Safer Seas

In a world where rogue waves have long been considered maritime myths, a groundbreaking advancement in predicting these destructive ocean phenomena has emerged. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Victoria harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze over 700 years of wave data, encompassing more than a billion waves, to develop a mathematical model capable of forecasting rogue waves. These towering waves, at least twice the height of their surrounding counterparts, have the potential to wreak havoc on ships and oil rigs, with the most…
