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 …

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 …

We analytically give the financial rogue waves in the nonlinear option pricing model due to
Ivancevic, which is nonlinear wave alternative of the Black—Scholes model. These rogue …

We analyze the sea state conditions during which the accident of the cruise ship Louis
Majesty took place. The ship was hit by a large wave that destroyed some windows at deck …

With the increased frequency of shipping activities, navigation safety has become a major
concern, especially when economic losses, human casualties and environmental issues are …

Media accounts often portray rogue, or freak, waves in dramatic terms. New Scientist
proclaimed on 30 June 2001,“It came from nowhere, snapping giant ships in two.” Tales of …

Using the new high‐resolution operational model of ECMWF, we revisit the storm during
which the Draupner freak wave of 1 January 1995 was recorded. The modeling system …

Two deep‐sea moorings were deployed 780 km off the coast of southern Taiwan for 4–5
months during the 2010 typhoon season. Directional wave spectra, wind speed and …

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 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 …
