The researchers were investigating " rogue waves" , those that are much bigger than expected given the sea conditions in which they form.

研究人员正在调查“异常波浪” ，即那些在形成海况时比预期大得多的波浪。

While they were attempting to work together stabilizing a Chevron oil tanker in the rough seas, a freakish big rogue wave smashed into the Jascon-4 at around 4: 30 a. m.
