Scaling the Wave Spectrum

The most important part is the steepness, right? So the steepness is a slope. It's not the height, but it's the height divided by the length over which the variation happens. And that we can scale. The physics that drives these waves allows us to scale this based on something called a fruit number,. That describes the system and that scaling has been successful in lab experiments. But when they're unidirectional you have to be incredibly careful in the lab if you're interested in rogue waves. If accidentally take something out using, say, 1% of the energy from the high frequency tail of those graphs - well, there's not much happening in that area. When
