Abstract

The mechanism of the spatial-temporal focusing (dispersion enhancement) of the edge waves in the shelf zone is studied in the framework of linear shallow water theory. The multi-modal Stokes edge waves are considered as an example of the shallow waves propagated in the coastal zone above uniformly sloping plane beach. The method to find the localized anomalous high wave generated in the process of the wave packet focusing is suggested. The characteristics of the wave trains evolving into the anomalous large wave are discussed.
