Over a decade ago, an analogy was drawn between the generation of large ocean waves
and the propagation of light fields in optical fibres. This analogy drove numerous …

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 …

Two freak waves were observed a day apart in October 2009 at a 5000-m deep moored
station in the northwest Pacific Ocean. As the typhoon passed by, the wave system …

We present a study on the prediction of rogue waves during the 1-hour sea state of
Hurricane Joaquin when the Merchant Vessel El Faro sank east of the Bahamas on October …

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 …

Ocean wave climate, including wind waves and swells, is essential to human marine
activities and global or regional climate systems, and is highly related to harnessing wave …

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 …

Surface elevation records from two locations in the northeast Pacific are used to examine
rogue waves and the relationship to wave groups. Three hundred individual rogue waves …
