Everything about The Draupner Wave totally explained
The
Draupner wave is the name of the first
rogue wave to be detected by a
measuring instrument, occurring at the Draupner
oil platform in the
North Sea off the coast of
Norway on
January 1,
1995. Prior to this measurement, such freak waves were known to exist only through
anecdotal evidence provided by those who had encountered them at sea.
Minor damage was inflicted on the platform during this event, confirming the validity of the reading made by a downwards-pointing
laser sensor. In an area with
significant wave height of approximately 12m, a freak wave with a maximum wave height of 25.6m occurred (peak elevation was 18.5 m). Engineer Paul Taylor estimated the Draupner wave was a one in 200,000 wave.
