Using the measured data of water elevation, we calculated the spectra of the Peregrine soliton and confirmed that they have triangular shapes, in accordance with the theory.Author/s retain copyrightKeywords: Deep Water; Measured data; Rogue waves; Spectral properties; Triangular shapes; Water elevation; Wave tank; Solitons; deep water; observational method; reservoir; spectral analysis; theoretical study; water wave201210.1029/2011JC0076712016-02-24
