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 …

The Sea surface KInematics Multiscale monitoring (SKIM) satellite mission is designed to
explore ocean surface current and waves. This includes tropical currents, notably the poorly …

A statistical theory of rogue waves is proposed and tested against experimental data
collected in a long water tank where random waves with different degrees of nonlinearity are …

The use of extreme events theory for the analysis of spontaneous epileptic brain activity is a
relevant multidisciplinary problem. It allows deeper understanding of pathological brain …

Rogue waves are individual ocean surface waves with crest height\(\eta\) or trough-to-crest
height H that are large compared to the significant wave height\(H_s\) of the underlying sea …

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 …

Big data and large-scale machine learning have had a profound impact on science and
engineering, particularly in fields focused on forecasting and prediction. Yet, it is still not …

We revisit the classical but as yet unresolved problem of predicting the breaking onset of 2D
and 3D irrotational gravity water waves. Based on a fully nonlinear 3D boundary element …

Abrupt depth transitions (ADTs) have recently been identified as potential causes of
'rogue'ocean waves. When stationary and (close-to-) normally distributed waves travel into …

Non-equilibrium evolution of wave fields, as occurring over sudden bathymetry variations,
can produce rogue seas with anomalous wave statistics. We handle this process by …
