چکیده
We thank the anonymous referee #1 for the positive and constructive remarks. Just like the referee, we struggled to improve and simplify the presentation of the technical results. In section 2 we tried to illustrate in a simple way the role of coherence by considering the (weak) pseudo-maximal signals. Then, to justify the use of the wavelet transform, we showed how the coherence of phase information could be obtained using the information at a single time, and then how much more precise and meaningful phase information is obtained from wavelet techniques, shown graphically in Figures 5 and 6. The new integral expressions try to quantify the coherence. An example of the practical use of the results could be early warning of freak waves (for the time being for long crested waves) from radar images of the sea far away from a ship, a topic that is investigated in ongoing research (see Wijaya et al., 2015 and

متن کاملLocalized Coherence of Freak Waves
Abstract. This paper investigates in detail a possible mechanism of energy convergence leading to freak waves. We give examples of a freak wave as a (weak) pseudo-maximal wave to illustrate the importance of phase coherence. Given a time signal at a certain position, we identify parts of the time signal with successive high amplitudes, so-called group events, that may lead to a freak wave using...

متن کاملCoherence and predictability of extreme events in irregular waves
This paper concerns the description and the predictability of a freak event when at a certain position information in the form of a time signal is given. The prediction will use the phase information for an estimate of the position and time of the occurrence of a large wave, and to predict the measure of phase coherence at the estimated focussing position. The coherence and the spectrum will de...
متن کاملThe Trapping and Instability of Directional Gravity Waves in Localized Water Currents
The influence of localized water currents on the nonlinear dynamics and stability of large amplitude, statistically distributed gravity waves is investigated theoretically and numerically by means of an evolution equation for a Wigner function governing the spectrum of waves. It is shown that water waves propagating in the opposite direction of a localized current channel can be trapped in the ...
