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 …

Since time immemorial, surface water waves and their subsequent breaking have been
studied. Herein we concentrate on breaking surface waves in deep and intermediate water …

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 …

We study the occurrence and dynamics of rogue waves in three-dimensional deep water
using phase-resolved numerical simulations based on a high-order spectral (HOS) method …

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 …

Abstract Based on Monte Carlo simulations of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in two
horizontal dimensions, the dependence of the kurtosis on the directional energy distribution …

Currents effects on waves have led to many developments in numerical wave modeling over
the past two decades, from numerical choices to parameterizations. The performance of …

The breaking of waves is an important mechanism for a number of physical, chemical and
biological processes in the ocean. Intuitively, waves break when they become too steep …

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 …

We report direct observations of surface waves from a stereo camera system along with
concurrent measurements of wind speed during an expedition across the Southern Ocean in …
