Abstract:
On December 15, 2009, a very high wave crest was recorded by a local camera at the CNR-ISMAR oceanographic tower, 15 km offshore Venice in the Northern Adriatic Sea (Italy). The height of the reconstructed crest elevation exceeds any value predictable with the standard statistics. We document the wave event providing a full description of the corresponding met-ocean conditions and related measurements.
