32. Twenty satellites A max = 0.5 Twenty satellites just fulls the condition for a narrow initial spectrum. The evolution of the wave field with A max = 0.5 is displayed below. The initial wave field consists of eight modulated groups of different amplitudes and each group contains 9-15 individual waves. t = 0, t = 400 R. Grimshaw, E. Pelinovsky, T. Taipova, and A. Sergeeva, European Physical Journal, 2010

33. A max = 1.2 t = 0t = 150 An increase of the initial amplitude leads to more complicated wave dynamics. The breathers formed here are narrower than in the previous case (3 - 5 individual waves). The largest waves here are two individual waves, and are not a wave group.
