Dear Matthias,

I did receive the referee comments on the revised version of your manuscript but needed a while to find time to oversee these. As you will have seen, the original referees were not able to work on the revised version and I had to ask for two new referees. Both referees point out there is still room for improvement. While the requests of referee #4 may be quickly implemented, the points raised by referee #3 are more demanding. Yet, I agree with that view and ask you to address the issues raised by both referees in due course.

Kind regards,


Micha Dietze

Dear Matthias,

Good news. The last review came back within a few hours. I also took a final look at the text. Once you have addressed these last few editorial points I consider the manuscript accepted.

- Fig 1. I do not find the wind wheel symbol in the map. Either add to the map or remove from the legend and figure caption
- Fig. 2. Add a reference to where you got the maps from.
- Page 6, consider resolving the list and add the features simply in the text separated by commas
- Fig. 5. Say from which station (or average of all stations?) the PSD is calculated

Dear Matthias and colleagues,
Thank you for working with Sepcial Issue editor Michael Dietze and his referees during the review process. Michael has some final issues that he would like you to deal with. Once these technical corrections have been made your manuscript can be readied for publication in ESurf.
Thank you for contributing to this special issue. I trust that your work will get good attention once published in its final form.
