Abstract

This Letter demonstrates that the kinetic equations for wave turbulence, the long time statistical behavior of a sea of weakly coupled, dispersive waves, will almost always develop solutions for which the theory fails due to strongly nonlinear and intermittent events either at small or large scales.
