There is much speculation that the largest and steepest waves may need to be modelled
with different physics to the majority of the waves on the open ocean. This review examines …

Nonlinear modulational instability of wavepackets is one of the mechanisms responsible for
the formation of large-amplitude water waves. Here, mechanically generated waves in a …

This work analyses wave groupiness features in the three-dimensional spatio-temporal
domain by using sea surface information acquired by common X-band marine radars. The …

Directional distribution is believed to have a significant impact on the statistical
characteristics in multi-directional sea states. In real sea states, short-crested waves are …

Rogue waves are dangerous ocean waves at least twice as high as the surrounding waves.
Despite an abundance of studies conducting simulations or wave tank experiments, there is …

The bimodal sea state, which occupies around 15%–25% of the unidirectional sea states
suggested in the critical operational environment, is one of the harshest wave conditions in …

The commonly used forms of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equations for deep water
(Dysthe, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, vol. 369, 1979, p. 105) and arbitrary depth (Brinch–Nielsen & …

We discuss the crossing sea state and the probability of rogue waves during the accident of
the tanker Prestige on 13 November 2002. We present newly computed hindcast spectra for …

We examine the statistical properties of extreme and rogue wave activity in crossing
directional seas, to constrain the probabilistic distributions of wave heights and wave crests …
