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 …

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 …

Rogue waves are anomalously high waves that may suddenly form on the sea surface. At
the dawn of the 21st century, they attracted the interest of researchers, from oceanographers …

Волны-убийцы ì неожиданно возникающие аномально высокие волны на морской
поверхности ì привлекли внимание исследователей, от океанографов до математиков …

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 …

We investigate experimentally the statistical properties of a wind-generated wave field and
the spontaneous formation of rogue waves in an annular flume. Unlike many experiments on …

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 …

This paper compares and evaluates three wave hindcasts in the North Atlantic Ocean: ERA-
Interim, NOAA/CFSR and HIPOCAS. The assessment was performed using satellite data …

We discuss the crossing sea state and the probability of rogue waves during the accident of
the tanker Prestige on 13 November 2002. We present newly computed hindcast spectra for …

Reliable ocean wave forecasts are critical for reducing the risk posed by extreme waves for
ships and offshore infrastructure. Despite insights gained from theoretical investigations and …
