+The manuscript received for publication has beautiful color pictures.
+However, the figures 1 to 3 loose essential details when printed in
+black-white (the yellow color becomes invisible).
+At the same time, the black-white reproductions of the figures 4 and 5
+are OK.
+We understand that the figure quality is an essential part of this
+manuscript.
+Could you find, please, a solution to get black-white printed figures
+1-3 of convenient quality?
+As in the similar cases for other submissions with color figures, the
+figure captions will start with the supplementary inserted text: "(Color
+online)".
+#+end_quote
+We modified the figures to ensure that all curves are visible in grayscale.

+The proofread of the English has pointed to transparently formulated
+ideas. However, the definite article is almost completely absent. Also,
+the suggestion of the Referee 2 to use "wave surface" for "wavy surface"
+is everywhere implemented in the annotated copy.
+#+end_quote
+We decided to follow this suggestion and replaced "wavy surface" with "wave
+surface" everywhere in the text and fixed all errors marked in the annotated
+copy.
+
+
+#+begin_quote
+Please, note that the other modifications proposed or suggested by
+the two referees are not included in the annotated text. Nevertheless,
+we expect that you will afford due consideration of their suggestions.
+#+end_quote
+We decided to follow all suggestions of the reviewers. Please, see the
+answers to their comments below.

+* Reviewer 1
+
+#+begin_quote
+The list of references is very short. Perhaps this is due to the
+compressed format of the article. Only two historical references are
+present. Ref. 3 is a paper in Russian, which is hardly accessible to the
+average reader.
+
+Therefore, I would propose to reduce the abstract and give additional
+links to modern papers.
+#+end_quote
+We reduced the abstract and added references to some papers proposed by one of
+the reviewers.

+“Wavy surface” is a direct translation from Russian “Взволнованная
+поверхность”, this expression is not normally used in English maritime
+literature. Usage of “Wave surface” is suggested instead.

+We replaced it everywhere in the text.

+The authors state that “State of the art mathematical and
+computational models do not simulate wave groups that are integral parts
+of ocean wavy surface”. In the opinion of the reviewer this is not
+entirely correct. There is a line of work that does model a seaway as
+sequence of wave groups, see e.g. Anastopoulos et al (2015), but the
+main focus is on stochastic properties rather than hydrodynamics.

+Usage of a superscript in front of a symbol is confusing.
+#+end_quote
+The superscript in front of a symbol means frame of reference: either body-fixed
+or Earth-fixed. However, in some equations it is impossible to distinguish
+between a superscript in front of a symbol and a superscript after the
+preceding symbol, therefore we changed it everywhere in the text to resolve the
+confusion.
