What makes the giant freak wave 'stable'

The dreaded giant freak wave that can appear on the open sea out of nowhere, can now for the first time be theoretically calculated and modeled: researchers have developed a new statistical model for non-linear, interacting waves in computer simulations. It explains how the water-wave system evolves, behaves and, above all, how it stabilizes itself.
