Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sneaker wave is a popular term used to describe disproportionately large coastal waves that can often appear in a wave train without warning. Because they are much larger than preceding waves, sneaker waves can catch unwary swimmers, washing them out to sea. It is not uncommon for people walking or standing on beaches and ocean jetties to also be washed into the sea. The term sneaker wave probably refers to a universal coastal phenomenon, but is mainly used in warnings and reports of incidents for the coasts of Northern California, Oregon and Washington in the United States. There is no scientific evidence or coverage of the phenomenon sneaker wave as being a distinct sort of wave with respect to height or predictability like there are on other extreme wave events such as rogue waves.
