Nonlinear Fourier classification of 663 rogue waves measured in the Philippine Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONERogue waves are sudden and extreme occurrences, with heights that exceed twice the significant wave height of their neighboring waves. The formation of rogue waves has been attributed to several possible mechanisms such as linear superposition of random ...

Physical Review Letters, 2010 We report the first observation of extreme wave events (rogue waves) in parametrically driven capillary waves. Rogue waves are observed above a certain threshold in forcing. Above this threshold, frequency spectra broaden and develop exponential tails.

On the shape and likelihood of oceanic rogue waves [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 We consider the observation and analysis of oceanic rogue waves collected within spatio-temporal (ST) records of 3D wave fields. This class of records, allowing a sea surface region to be retrieved, is appropriate for the observation of rogue waves ...

Rogue waves in the two dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation and nonlocal Klein-Gordon equation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In this paper, we investigate two types of nonlocal soliton equations with the parity-time (PT) symmetry, namely, a two dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and a coupled nonlocal Klein-Gordon equation.

Detection of Elusive Rogue Wave with Cross-Track Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Approach [PDF]
SensorsRogue waves are reported to wreck ships and claim lives. The prompt detection of their presence is difficult due to their small footprint and unpredictable emergence.

Caustics and Rogue Waves in an Optical Sea. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractThere are many examples in physics of systems showing rogue wave behaviour, the generation of high amplitude events at low probability. Although initially studied in oceanography, rogue waves have now been seen in many other domains, with particular recent interest in optics. Although most studies in optics have focussed on how nonlinearity can

Contribution of solitons to enhanced rogue wave occurrence in shallow depths: a case study in the southern North Sea [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 The shallow waters off the coast of Norderney in the southern North Sea are characterised by a higher frequency of rogue wave occurrences than expected. Here, rogue waves refer to waves exceeding twice the significant wave height.

Physics Today, 2009 Rich and challenging physics lies behind the gigantic ocean waves that seem to appear without warning to damage ships or sweep people off rocky shores.

Transverse Instability of Rogue Waves [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Rogue waves are abnormally large waves which appear unexpectedly and have attracted considerable attention, particularly in recent years. The one space, one time (1+1) nonlinear Schrödinger equation is often used to model rogue waves; it is an envelope description of plane waves and admits the so-called Pergerine and Kuznetov-Ma soliton solutions ...

Generation mechanism and prediction of an observed extreme rogue wave
Scientific Reports, 2022 Rogue waves are individual ocean surface waves with crest height $$\eta$$ η or trough-to-crest height H that are large compared to the significant wave height $$H_s$$ H s of the underlying sea state: $$H/H_s>2.2$$ H / H s > 2.2 or $$\eta /H_s>1.25$$ η ...
