General comments
I appreciate the effort put forth by the authors in revising the manuscript. I believe it has vastly improved. The addition of Tables 1 and 3 made the paper much easier to understand. I do have a few very minor additional comments.
Minor comments
1) There are still issues with grammar, especially comma usage, that make the text hard to follow in places. For example, on Pg. 13, “…two-dimensional geophysical process and in time, we consider…” is confusing without a comma before “and”. Moreover, when introducing a sentence with “For x”, a comma is needed after “x”. Another example is on Pg. 14, Line 4, where a comma is needed before “follows”.
2) Throughout the paper, there are many erroneous subsection numbers that should be removed.
3) Throughout the paper, there are many erroneous line breaks within sentences that need to be removed.
4) Periods are missing at the end of several figure captions.
5) The added figures in Appendix A and Appendix B are nice; however, I would suggest just included them in the main text unless you add text surrounding them in the corresponding appendix.
6) Please review the reference – there are formatting inconsistencies.
7) Pg. 1, Line 1: Reword – “allows to characterize” is awkward.
8) Pg. 2 Line 34: Change “simulations of” to “simulated”.
9) Table 1: Use “Wind speed”; add a space between units to avoid confusion.
10) Pg. 5, Line 2: Should be “These data are”.
11) Pg. 5, Line 3: Need to add “the” before “beginning”.
12) Pg. 6, Line 17: QPE already defined.
13) Fig. 2: Enlarge to make it easier to read.
14) Pg. 11, Line 11: Move to end of prior paragraph.
15) Pg. 13, Line 24: Change to “second-order”.
16) Fig. 3: The caption is incorrect – there is no left and right panel.
17) Pg. 15, Line 15: Consider replacing “spectacular” with a more descriptive term.
18) Pg. 16, Line 1: Define ANOVA and use capital letters.
19) Pg. 16, Line 2: Change to “tests”.
20) Pg. 18, Line 25: Change “that” to “which”.
21) Pg. 18, Lines 28-30: The wording is awkward; reword.
22) Pg. 20, Line 20: Change to “large-scale”.
23) Pg. 20, Line 25: Use the variables from the table instead of just H.
24) Pg. 20, Line 32: Use “one-moment scheme”.
25) Pg. 20, Line 33: You are comparing QPE between the radar and model, not the radar QPE with the scheme itself; reword.
26) Pg. 24: Line 2: Use “south”.
27) Section 5.4: The section is a bit confusing because you start off saying that you will focus on the third event; however, there are two paragraphs on the first and second. Either omit the discussion of the first and second events or reword/reorganize the beginning of the section.
28) Pg. 24, Line 29: This should not be a paragraph on its own.
29) Pg. 25, Lines 1-2: The sentence is awkward; reword.
30) Figure B3: Place figure title below color bar so that it is clear to the reader what the colors represent. For potential vorticity, use units of 10-5 K m2 kg-1 s-1 to remove the large number of zeroes in the colorbar. |
