The average shape of large waves in the Norwegian Sea – is non-linear physics important?

<p style="text-align:justify;"> Linear wave theory predicts that in a random sea, the shape of the average wave is given by the scaled autocorrelation function — the “NewWave”. However, the gravity wave problem is non-linear. Numerical simulations of waves on deep water have suggest...
