Thanks to the authors for their thorough and thoughful response to the reviews and comments. You have revised the paper appropriately, and have justified why you have not acted on other sections of the reviews. I think that the paper is not that far away from being ready for publication. I have, however, identified a number of very minor changes in the attached file to improve the clarity of some parts of the paper, and am requesting that you address these minor revisions.

Thanks for making these minor edits. I have one technical correction for you to address below, otherwise I think that this paper is now ready for publication.

Best wishes,
Rebecca

In Fig 13, there is a red dot at the final mininum of the dashed line. This dot is not referred to anywhere, so I assume that it should not be there. Can you please provide an updated version of the figure, or amend the caption to explain what the dot represents.

Dear Manuel and colleagues,
AE Rebecca Hodge advises that your manuscript is now ready for publication, and I am happy to follow her recommendation. Please, do make the technical correction to Figure 13 and submit the final manuscript for copy editing by Copernicus at the first opportunity. Your prompt response to their queries and suggestions will expedite the publication of your paper in ESurf. I thank you for chosing ESurf as outlet for this work. It signals a direction that will be increasingly explored by the field.
