Generation mechanism and prediction of an observed extreme rogue wave

Abstract Rogue waves are individual ocean surface waves with crest height $$\eta$$ η or trough-to-crest height H that are large compared to the significant wave height $$H_s$$ H s of the underlying sea state: $$H/H_s>2.2$$ H / H s > 2.2 or $$\eta /H_s>1.25$$ η / H s > 1.25 . The physics...
