Of particular interest are one-mode densities which can
be conveniently obtained using a one-amplitude
generating function
where
is a real parameter. Then PDF of the wave
intensities
at each
can be written as a Laplace
transform,

For the one-point moments of the amplitude we have

where
and subscript
means differentiation
with respect to
times.
The first of these moments,
, is the waveaction spectrum.
Higher moments
measure fluctuations of the waveaction
-space
distributions about their
mean values [22]. In particular the r.m.s. value of these fluctuations is
