Epistola XI.  HN.  Correctio[n] and exhortation out of heartie loue [[electronic resource] ] : to a pluckinge vnder the obedience of the loue/and to repentaunce for their sinnes, vnto all them that are wise in their owne conceites: and for-that-cause blaspheame our seruice and our communialtie in the loue/and iudge vs falslie.  Also to an admonition of all single-minded heartes/which humble themselues obedientlie with vs, vnder the loue and her seruice. Set fourth by HN, and by him pervsed anew and more distinctlie declared. Translated out of Base-almayne

Sommario/riassunto

This self-contained set of lectures addresses a gap in the literature by providing a systematic link between the theoretical foundations of the subject matter and cutting-edge applications in both geophysical fluid dynamics and nonlinear optics. Rogue and shock waves are phenomena that may occur in the propagation of waves in any nonlinear dispersive medium. Accordingly, they have been observed in disparate settings – as ocean waves, in nonlinear optics, in Bose-Einstein condensates, and



in plasmas. Rogue and dispersive shock waves are both characterized by the development of extremes: for the former, the wave amplitude becomes unusually large, while for the latter, gradients reach extreme values. Both aspects strongly influence the statistical properties of the wave propagation and are thus considered together here in terms of their underlying theoretical treatment. This book offers a self-contained graduate-level text intended as both an introduction and reference guide for a new generation of scientists working on rogue and shock wave phenomena across a broad range of fields in applied physics and geophysics.
