Abstract

 

Large amplitude waves are ubiquitous features in the ocean and atmosphere, but few mathematical models can describe accurately these highly nonlinear waves. In this talk, I will review some recent asymptotic and numerical approaches which show great promise in enhancing our modeling capability and will discuss possible research topics of current interest.
