Dear authors,

Thank you for the submission of your revised manuscript and for your thoughtful consideration of reviewer comments. Myself and one of the two original reviewers reviewed your revised manuscript and found the changes to the text to clarify the reviewer questions and improve the manuscript. However, I am recommending some modifications to the design of the manuscript figures in order to streamline presentation of the results of the study (see below). I am marking these as minor revisions, but upon completion, I look forward to seeing this manuscript move forward.

All the best,
Claire

I recognize that much of this information is included in the captions, but these are very lengthy, and thus, to ensure that this information is not lost, I am recommending modifications of the figures themselves for clarity and inclusion of clear labels and legends in the figures, as there are many details and annotations that readers may miss otherwise. I am also suggesting modifications to the figure color schemes to improve accessibility (particularly to make figures red-green colorblind friendly).

Figure 1. Text in figure is very difficult to see, particularly in the legend. Please increase text sizes for legibility. Please modify red/green color scheme to be colorblind friendly.

Figure 2. It is currently unclear where the flow-chart/decision tree begins. Please revise for clarity. Please modify red/green color scheme to be colorblind friendly.

Figure 3. The numbers next to each of the ground velocity waveforms are unclear. Please modify the figure or caption to clarify what these represent. Green dashed line is very hard to see. Please modify the color for clarity. Also please add this line to an in-figure legend for added legibility in the figure.

Figure 4. Text sizes, particularly in location maps, are very small and difficult to see. Please enlarge. Please modify red/green color scheme to be colorblind friendly. There are two references to black lines in the figure caption, corresponding to the wave forms and to the location maps - please visually differentiate between these and include these in a figure legend. The red outlines are also not clear, please add these to an in-figure legend in addition to their reference in the caption itself. The "relative misfit" label is very hard to see being inset into the color bar, please move this below the colorbar to increase legibility.

Figure 5. Include green squares of seismic stations in the legend. Please add black outlines to the red stars and green squares for legibility. Please modify red/green color scheme to be colorblind friendly. What is x-axis on 5b? Please clarify. Magenta points and open circles in C and D should be defined in a legend in the figure. Grey points should also be defined in the legend in Panel B.

Figure 6. The reasons for the purple and orange backgrounds in this figure are not clear, as are many of the annotations on these figures. Please modify the figure caption to make these clear or remove the orange/purple backgrounds. The purple lines associated with the videos are very hard to see, please make these thicker. The inclusion of panel E is not very clear in the current presentation of the data. A figure legend defining these annotations thing the figure would help readers digest the figure.

Figure 7. A) It is hard to tell from the image if the lidar differences are confined the the main body or the whole failure. Outlining the area where the elevation differences are plotted would be helpful. B) Text annotations are difficult to see. Please modify for legibility. White with black line annotations are really hard to see. Please modify these for legibility. A figure legend defining these annotations thing the figure would help readers digest the figure. C)

Much of the text in the figure captions can be streamlined by including legends or annotations in the figures themselves. I would recommend modifying the figures towards streamlining delivery of this information to readers.

Dear Dr. Chang and co-authors,

Thank you for your submission of the revised manuscript and your work to incorporate my suggestions for modifying the manuscript figures. I find them to be much more legible and appreciate the use of a color-blind friendly color scheme. I am now recommending this manuscript for publication.

I look forward to seeing this published in E-Surf!

All the best,
Claire Masteller

Dear Jui-Ming and colleagues,

Thank you for working with AE Claire Masteller and her referees during the review and revision process of your manuscript. I am happy to follow Claire's recommendation and approve publication of the manuscript in its present form.

Your manuscript will now be prepared for print by the Copernicus publishers. Your prompt response to their queries and instructions will help keep the time to publication to a minimum. Please observe, however, that current working conditions may cause some slight delays.

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to ESurf. The paper will add to the tradition of the journal in Environmental Seismology, and I trust that it will get good attention.

Best wishes,

Niels Hovius
