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 …

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 …

A series of direct numerical simulations of the Euler equation are conducted using a high-
order spectral (HOS) method to investigate the nonlinear statistics and freak wave …

Regional analysis of wave characteristics is crucial for ocean engineering planning and
marine disaster protection. However, current wave observation methods have limitations in …

We investigate how the extreme wave statistics of a combined windsea and swell appears to
be different from the extreme wave statistics of the corresponding windsea and swell …

Ocean surface waves exposed to extreme weather conditions, such as tropical cyclones
(TCs), are critical environmental forces acting on the coastal and offshore structures …

This paper explores the competing nonlinear processes that define the largest crest heights
in uni-directional random seas. In deep water, the third-order near-resonant interactions …

Rogue waves, also known as freak waves, have received much attention in the scientific
community as well as in media and the marine industry in the past two decades. Forecasts of …
