Uncertainties of wave data and models got increasing attention in the last decades by the marine industry because of their importance for safety at sea. Improved knowledge about …
Nonlinear wave focusing originating from the universal modulation instability (MI) is responsible for the formation of strong wave localizations on the water surface and in …
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 …
Free surface waves with two or more spectral peaks propagating at an oblique angle to each other are commonly termed “crossing sea states”. Such crossing patterns have been …
Wave crests of unexpected height and steepness pose a danger to activities at sea, and long-term field measurements provide important clues for understanding the environmental …
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 …
The study of extreme ocean waves has gained considerable interest in recent years, due to their importance for offshore design and navigation safety, and several theoretical …
We discuss the dynamics of unidirectional random wave fields that propagate against an opposing current through laboratory experiments and direct numerical simulations of the …
