Paste in console to read the article document.querySelector('.Modal').remove(); document.querySelector('body').style.position=''; document.querySelector('body').style.overflowY='';

There's a "Continue without accepting" button for me, but else I tend to do like this too (remove modal/iframe and some class/style on body)

This is a commercially available product for wave prediction on ships: https://nextocean.nl/wavepredictor.php

Not specifically meant for rogue waves though, but rather to predict calm streaks in the waves affecting the ships motion. This is useful, e.g. when landing a helicopter or transferring cargo or persons to another ship while at sea.

I can confirm that there is a lot of interesting math involved and, as noted in the article, a challenging amount of computation to do in a real-time prediction setting.

ESA satellites were used to find out more about rogue waves, and develop statistical models for prediction, shortly after they were first accurately measured in the 1990's.

The program was known as MaxWave;

Non subscription link?

there's archive.org https://web.archive.org/web/20220611061036/https://www.natio... but it also has the subscription popup there, a pattern I've been noticing more and more.

on edit: maybe archive.org should have reading options menu somewhere, so you can say read this without JS, reader mode, etc.
