Oceanic rogue waves
K Dysthe, HE Krogstad, P Müller - Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech., 2008 - annualreviews.org
Oceanic rogue waves are surface gravity waves whose wave heights are much larger than
expected for the sea state. The common operational definition requires them to be at least …

The physics of anomalous ('rogue') ocean waves
TAA Adcock, PH Taylor - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
There is much speculation that the largest and steepest waves may need to be modelled
with different physics to the majority of the waves on the open ocean. This review examines …
