Using state-of-the-art technology and embarking on an expedition to one of Earth’s most volatile oceanic realms, the research team deployed a novel technique for three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves. Operating stereo cameras aboard the South African icebreaker SA Agulhas II during the Antarctic expedition in 2017, they captured rare insights into the behavior of waves in this remote region.
“Antarctica’s choppy seas and wild winds can cause large waves to ‘self amplify,’ resulting in rogue wave frequency scientists had theorized for years, but could not yet verify in the ocean,” Professor Toffoli said. Professor Toffoli emphasized the critical importance of integrating wind dynamics into predictive models for rogue wave forecasting.
