- Abstract
Analyzed are the reasons of extreme waves with the height of more than 14 m formed in the North Atlantic in 2002-2011 and the evolution of atmospheric processes causing the extreme waves. It is revealed that the extreme waves in the North Atlantic during that period were mainly (in 81% of cases) formed under the influence of 'explosive' cyclones. The height of waves in these cyclones can reach 20 m and more.
