1 #+options: toc:nil num:nil ':t 2 3 * Editors 4 5 #+begin_quote 6 The manuscript received for publication has beautiful color pictures. 7 However, the figures 1 to 3 loose essential details when printed in 8 black-white (the yellow color becomes invisible). 9 At the same time, the black-white reproductions of the figures 4 and 5 10 are OK. 11 We understand that the figure quality is an essential part of this 12 manuscript. 13 Could you find, please, a solution to get black-white printed figures 14 1-3 of convenient quality? 15 As in the similar cases for other submissions with color figures, the 16 figure captions will start with the supplementary inserted text: "(Color 17 online)". 18 #+end_quote 19 We modified the figures to ensure that all curves are visible in grayscale. 20 21 22 #+begin_quote 23 The proofread of the English has pointed to transparently formulated 24 ideas. However, the definite article is almost completely absent. Also, 25 the suggestion of the Referee 2 to use "wave surface" for "wavy surface" 26 is everywhere implemented in the annotated copy. 27 #+end_quote 28 We decided to follow this suggestion and replaced "wavy surface" with "wave 29 surface" everywhere in the text and fixed all errors marked in the annotated 30 copy. 31 32 33 #+begin_quote 34 Please, note that the other modifications proposed or suggested by 35 the two referees are not included in the annotated text. Nevertheless, 36 we expect that you will afford due consideration of their suggestions. 37 #+end_quote 38 We decided to follow all suggestions of the reviewers. Please, see the 39 answers to their comments below. 40 41 42 * Reviewer 1 43 44 #+begin_quote 45 The list of references is very short. Perhaps this is due to the 46 compressed format of the article. Only two historical references are 47 present. Ref. 3 is a paper in Russian, which is hardly accessible to the 48 average reader. 49 50 Therefore, I would propose to reduce the abstract and give additional 51 links to modern papers. 52 #+end_quote 53 We reduced the abstract and added references to some papers proposed by one of 54 the reviewers. 55 56 57 * Reviewer 2 58 59 #+begin_quote 60 Fluid mechanics are two words - please, check the first line in 61 abstract. 62 #+end_quote 63 We fixed the typo. 64 65 66 #+begin_quote 67 “Wavy surface” is a direct translation from Russian “Взволнованная 68 поверхность”, this expression is not normally used in English maritime 69 literature. Usage of “Wave surface” is suggested instead. 70 #+end_quote 71 We replaced it everywhere in the text. 72 73 74 #+begin_quote 75 The authors state that “State of the art mathematical and 76 computational models do not simulate wave groups that are integral parts 77 of ocean wavy surface”. In the opinion of the reviewer this is not 78 entirely correct. There is a line of work that does model a seaway as 79 sequence of wave groups, see e.g. Anastopoulos et al (2015), but the 80 main focus is on stochastic properties rather than hydrodynamics. 81 82 Anastopoulos, P.A., Spyrou, K.J., Bassler, C.C. and V. Belenky (2015) 83 “Towards an Improved Critical Wave Groups Method for the Probabilistic 84 Assessment of Large Ship Motions in Irregular Sea” Probabilistic 85 Engineering Mechanics Vol. 44, pp 18-27 86 #+end_quote 87 Thank you for suggesting this line of work. We included the suggested paper as a 88 reference. 89 90 91 #+begin_quote 92 Usage of a superscript in front of a symbol is confusing. 93 #+end_quote 94 The superscript in front of a symbol means frame of reference: either body-fixed 95 or Earth-fixed. However, in some equations it is impossible to distinguish 96 between a superscript in front of a symbol and a superscript after the 97 preceding symbol, therefore we changed it everywhere in the text to resolve the 98 confusion. 99 100
