[Rhodes22-list] Rogue waves

[Ben Schultz]

Lou, 

Check out Oceanography and Seamanship by Van Dorn.  It's a textbook type of
volume, with lots of formulas, and stuff for us engineering geek types.

>Roger,

   Do  you have any formula for predicting the appearance of rogue 
waves in severe storms in the northern hemisphere with physics? 
oceanography?
  just curious:)
