title = "Frequency downshifting of wave spectra and formation of freak waves on non-uniform opposing current",
abstract = "Physical and numerical modeling of initially monochromatic wave propagation on stepwise opposite current in conditions of deep water was carrying out. The physical experiments demonstrated two steps of downshifting of spectral maximum in the regions of increasing of opposite current. Freak waves arise at the moments of downshifting, when several peaks of spectrum exist, due to superposition of waves, provided by each of spectral peaks. To explain the phenomena of downshifting the dynamical evolution set of equations are constructed. Their solutions perfectly described the main qualitative features of wave transformation during the physical experiments.",
