"In the next phase of research, a project called Wave Atlas will use two years of "imagettes" to create a worldwide atlas of rogue wave events and carry out statistical analyses, ESA said."
Predicting rouge waves would be invaluable.

I remember a rogue wave. Came off our stern, and the poor sailor who was the stern watch was waist deep in water.
My squadron had a ship head into Japan to have repairs done, and two sailors went to the stern to do some maintenance. Rogue wave came, the railing didn't keep 'em onboard. They retreived one sailor with a broken arm. We spent two days searching, but never found the other.

This is very interesting.
Apparently it defied the "conventional scientific wisdom" and wasn't believed, until now, when they have irrefutable proof.
I wonder what is causing them.

Old salts talk about a Devils' Wave at Monterey. The waters are calm. Then, out of the blue, a giant wave appears and destroys fishing ships. There are mysteries in the sea yet uncovered. FReegards....

"Rogue waves" have been the anecdotal cause behind scores of sinking's of vessels
I thought it was Sea Monsters.
