Abstract
Extreme wave events, also referred to as freak or rogue waves, are mostly known as oceanic phenomena responsible for a large number of maritime disasters. These waves, which have height and steepness much greater than expected from the sea average state [1], have recently become a topic of intense research. Rogue waves appear both in deep ocean and in shallow water [2]. Research on rogue waves is in an emerging state [1,3]. These waves not only appear in oceans but also in the atmosphere, in optics, in plasmas, in superfluids, in Bose-Einstein condensates and also as capillary waves. The common features and differences among freak wave manifestations in their different contexts is a subject of intense discussion [2].
