"AI Unlocks the Secret to Predicting Monster Waves with Centuries of Data"

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen and University of Victoria have used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze 700 years' worth of wave data and discover a mathematical model for predicting the occurrence of rogue waves. By combining various factors such as ocean movements, sea state, water depths, and bathymetric information, the researchers were able to identify the causes of these extreme waves and develop an algorithm that calculates the probability of their formation. The findings have implications for maritime safety, allowing shipping companies to assess the risk of encountering rogue waves and choose alternative routes.
