General comment
I want to thank the authors for thoroughly taking into account the comments made by the other reviewer and myself in this revision. The changes have substantially improved the quality of the paper and now propose a clear overview of the different (and numerous) work steps presented. More specifically, I really appreciate Figures 1 and 4 as they answer many of the questions I had after reading the first manuscript.
The significant changes, which I am satisfied with, have considerably increased the length of the paper: 8 more pages in the revised version than in the original manuscript. As a general comment, I would advise authors to cut text where possible, even though I understand that it may be difficult to fit the new and relevant information into a shorter paper. Possible suggestions include: removing Figure 3, removing Figure 6 because Figure 7 and Table 4 apply in a very clear way the theoretical cases of Figure 6 to the studied drought events.
Minor comment
Lines 70-74: Point (3) and point (4) could be inversed to follow the new structure of the paper. |
