Toward Predicting Rogue Waves

Rogue waves were once the stuff of nautical legend. Tales of giant lone waves were considered sailors' tall tales, until an oil rig in the North Sea was hit by a 25.6-meter wave on 1 January 1995. The wave was more than twice the height of any others around it and much steeper, too. Since then, scientists have been working to understand how and why these rogue waves form. (Image credit: C.

Y’all ever keep old scratchwork/notes and just reminisce. Kinda don’t want to throw it away but also am I just a hoarder?

The song is also the same fractal and growth math shit as the image/video prompts

Why do social scientists keep classifying entire fields as being complex systems when physical scientists haven't even solved complex systems yet

Are they making their problems unsolvable on purpose? So that their crackpot methods seem more reasonable? Maybe

Predicting Sea States

Transferring cargo between ships and landing aircraft on carriers requires predicting how the waves will behave for the next few minutes. That's a notoriously difficult task for several reasons. (Image credit: R. Ding; research credit: J. Yao et al.; via APS News)
