I was thinking, after reading the posts about Rossby waves, that if
a wave with sufficiently lowered water density passed underneath a
vessel, its buoyancy would be suddenly reduced, perhaps causing it
to sink suddenly and "without cause". A wave with lowered density
would also probably attract nearby higher-density water to attempt
to equalize the density, and the inflowing water motion would
hasten the sinking.
