Rogue waves (RWs) are rare, extreme amplitude, localized wave packets, which have
received much interest recently in different areas of physics. Fiber lasers with their abundant …

The prediction of extreme events, from avalanches and droughts to tsunamis and epidemics,
depends on the formulation and analysis of relevant, complex dynamical systems. Such …

Since the 1990s, the modulational instability has commonly been used to explain the
occurrence of rogue waves that appear from nowhere in the open ocean. However, the …

Waveforms described by the second-order Stokes-type approximations are prone to display
anomalous troughs with spurious negative crests. The systemic occurrence of such …

Stereo video techniques are effective for estimating the space-time wave dynamics over an
area of the ocean. Indeed, a stereo camera view allows retrieval of both spatial and temporal …

We present explicit forms of general breather (GB), Akhmediev breather (AB), Ma soliton
(MS), and rogue wave (RW) solutions of the two-component nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) …

In this paper, an observational space–time ensemble of sea surface elevations is
investigated in search of the highest waves of the sea state. Wave data were gathered by …

We consider the problem of short-term prediction of rare, extreme water waves in irregular
unidirectional fields, a critical topic for ocean structures and naval operations. One possible …

We present a second-order stochastic model of weakly nonlinear waves and develop
theoretical expressions for the expected shape of large surface displacements. The model …
