On the probability and averaged shape of extreme water waves

Abstract:

Extreme waves are reported more frequently than the probability predicted from standard statistical models in the open ocean. This departure from the classical statistical distributions is primarily due to nonlinear physics. Wave nonlinearity also modifies the most probable shape of extreme water waves as these waves propagate relative to that expected in a linear model. Better insights into both aspects of extreme water waves are crucial for the safety design of carriers and marine struct...
