Cumulative wave intensity units: 10³ W m⁻² s⁻¹.

^a P < 0.05, ^b P ≤ 0.01, ^c P < 0.001 compared with the respective baseline.

Items in italics refer to component waves that were estimated via the indicated equation. There were no significant differences between baseline of Group 1 and baseline of Group 2 for any quantity. Note that BDW_mr cumulative intensity cannot be calculated as for peak intensity.
