The revised manuscript is improved over the original submission and I recommend it for publication in ESD. It is an interesting paper and makes an important contribution to the literature on flood hydroclimatology. I have a few minor suggestions that the authors may wish to take on board:
Pg3;L9-10 &Pg4;L13-14: range of drainage areas repeated, remove one.
Pg 4; 17: As per my original comment, can’t see the % number of total annual floods that occur Nov-March here?
Pg4; 21-22: As per my original comment: “events with inter-arrival times larger than 15 days, which we believe is a consistent interval to guarantee independence
between flood events considering the different rainfall mechanisms that cause floods in UPRB”. Unless a formal independence criteria was applied, which there is no mention?, then there is no guarantee.
Interesting plot in response to my query on the range of peaks-over-threshold events. It might be of interest to other readers to include the range from 76-131 within Pg4;L23 of the revised manuscript |
