Nonlinear dynamics of wave-groups in random seas: unexpected walls of water in the open ocean
This paper investigates the size and structure of large waves on the open ocean. We investigate how nonlinear physics modifies waves relative to those predicted by a linear model. We run linear random simulations and extract extreme waves and the surrounding sea-state. For each extreme event, we pro...
