Rogue waves and analogies in optics and oceanography
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 …

What makes the Peregrine soliton so special as a prototype of freak waves?
VI Shrira, VV Geogjaev - Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 2010 - Springer
The formation of breathers as prototypes of freak waves is studied within the framework of

Laboratory recreation of the Draupner wave and the role of breaking in crossing seas
Freak or rogue waves are so called because of their unexpectedly large size relative to the
population of smaller waves in which they occur. The 25.6 m high Draupner wave, observed …
