WHAT ARE SQUARE WAVES? —Viperae Square waves, an unusual, mesmerizing phenomenon when viewed from the shores. Despite that beautiful view, if you're unlucky enough to run into them in the water, you can only hope for the best. Square or cross waves are sea waves that intersect with each other at right angles, forming a pattern on the surface of the water, like on a chessboard. This rare natural phenomenon is not only beautiful but also extremely dangerous. There are several reasons why they appear. Most often this happens when the wind drives the waves in one direction, and the sea current in the other. This phenomenon can be caused by the superposition of waves from different storms on top of each other. Another possible cause is wind shear: a change in the direction of the airflow sets a new direction for the waves and they intersect with the already formed ones. According to scientists, square waves are a visualization of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation: the formula describes nonlinear wave motion and is often used to explain the interaction of weather systems with each other. Square waves are most often found in shallow waters along with coastal areas: on the beaches of the Azores, on the coast of Tel Aviv. In general, this is quite a rare phenomenon, but there is one place on the west coast of France where cross waves form with surprising regularity–this is the island of Re, whose coastline and climatic features are ideal for their formation. Square waves are unpredictable and high, therefore they are capable of overturning both small boats and large ships. It is strictly forbidden to go out to sea with cross waves, as well as to swim - when they appear, you need to get ashore as soon as possible. The fact is that such waves very intensely beat a person from both sides at once, preventing even experienced swimmers from catching their breath. References and Sources: [1] Cross Sea".
