Extreme Ocean Waves
Extreme, freak or rogue waves are produced by a number of physical mechanisms that focus the water-wave energy into a small area, due to wave instability, chaotic behaviour, dispersion, refraction, and soliton interactions. This book details the progress in the understanding of the physical mechanisms of rogue wave phenomenon.
