Rogue waves is the name given by oceanographers to isolated large amplitude waves, that
occur more frequently than expected for normal, Gaussian distributed, statistical events …

Oceanic rogue waves are surface gravity waves whose wave heights are much larger than
expected for the sea state. The common operational definition requires them to be at least …

This short editorial contains the introductory remarks for the special issue “discussions and
debates” on the subject of “rogue waves”. This issue is the first of its kind, in the sense that …

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 …

A review of physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon is given. The data of
marine observations as well as laboratory experiments are briefly discussed. They …

Super rogue waves with an amplitude of up to 5 times the background value are observed in
a water-wave tank for the first time. Nonlinear focusing of the local wave amplitude occurs …

We present experimental observations of the hierarchy of rational breather solutions of the
nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) generated in a water wave tank. First, five breathers …

The appearance of rogue waves in deep sea is investigated by using the modified nonlinear
Schrödinger (MNLS) equation in one spatial dimension with random initial conditions that …

Rogue waves can be categorized as unexpectedly large waves, which are temporally and
spatially localized. They have recently received much attention in the water wave context …
