Dear Dr Mazzoleni,

thank you for the very detailed responses to the reviewers' comments. After having carefully read your responses, I would be happy to consider a revised manuscript. But please note that a revised manuscript will undergo further review, and a final decision will be made on the basis of those reviews. Because of the nature of the revisions, and depending on the availability of the previous reviewers, this may involve seeking the opinion of a third reviewer.

Kind regards

Dear Dr Mazzoleni,

we have now received a new set of reviews for your manuscript. As one of the original reviewers was not available to review the revised manuscript, I have sent it out to a new reviewer. You will see that reviewer 1 (who reviewed the original manuscript) is happy with the changes that were made and does not have any further observations. However, reviewer 3, who saw the manuscript for the first time, has some more substantial comments. But these are almost all of a technical nature, mostly related to the flow of argument and clarity of the writing. As such, they should be quite straightforward to address, and a useful opportunity to improve the manuscript further.

I would therefore be grateful if you could address these comments in a further revision of the manuscript.

Kind regards
