Dear Dr. Geert Jan van Oldenborgh,
As you know the process of peer review and publication in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is a two-stage process involving the scientific discussion forum Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences Discussions (NHESSD). The first stage, corresponding to the open discussion has ended. The reviewers have already sent their comments and you have posted your comments as a response to them (in this case no more short comments from the scientific community have been received).
From now on begins the second stage that follows the usual and non-public peer-reviewed process. You have to send now the revised paper with all the improvements made in basis to the reviewers’ comments. One of the reviews has proposed to reconsider the paper after major revisions and he/she have asked for reviewing the new version of the paper.
I would like to remind you that the pass to the second stage is no guarantee whatsoever that the paper will be accepted for publication in NHESS. This will depend on the comments of the referees, and your ability to respond properly to the comments received.
Yours Sincerely
Prof. Maria Carmen Llasat

Dear Dr. Geert Jan van Oldenborgh,
Thank you very much for the revised version of your paper. You have answered satisfactorily to the reviews comments. It is a pleasure for me telling you that your paper has been accepted to be published as it is.
Hoping to receive more contributions from you in the future, to be published in NHESS,
Sincerely,
Prof. Maria Carmen Llasat
