On Hokusai's Great wave off Kanagawa : localization, linearity and a rogue wave in sub-Antarctic waters
The Hokusai woodcut entitled The great wave off Kanagawa has been interpreted as an unusually large storm wave, likely to be classed as a rogue wave, and possibly generated from nonlinear wave dynamics (J. H. E. Cartwright and H. Nakamura, Notes Rec. R. Soc. 63 , 119–135 (2009)). In this paper, we p...
