Certain wave groups, they found, end up «focusing» or exchanging energy in a way that eventually leads to
an extreme rogue wave.
They then developed a novel approach to analyze the nonlinear dynamics of the system and predict which wave groups will evolve into
extreme rogue waves.

«We believe this first study of
rogue waves occurring over space and time during hurricanes will help improve real - time forecasting for shipping companies and other organizations that need to understand the risk of
extreme events in the oceans.»
«The space - time model developed for this study could provide the basis for the next generation of
wave forecast models to predict
wave extremes and provide early warnings to shipping companies and others to help them avoid dangerous areas at risk of
rogue waves,» Fedele said.
This technique, which is currently applied in the field of photonics, could help predict
rogue wave events1 on the ocean surface, along with other
extreme natural phenomena.
