Abstract : Crossing sea states are common phenomena in the oceans, and have been suggested as one possible generation mechanism for rogue waves. Modeling studies are conducted for (a) a two-layer fluid with long wave-short wave resonance, and (b) the triad resonance in a continuously stratified fluid with constant buoyancy frequency. Modulation instability will be enhanced. There is a preferred inclination of oblique wave propagation for a maximum growth rate, suggesting the occurrence of rogue waves.
