The discussion paper has received two reviews, both of which were supportive but reviewers did recommend additional clarification of some aspects of the text as well as items to be considered in the discussion section. I find that the authors addressed these comments appropriately and their proposed revisions will serve to enhance the final paper.

Given that these comments are relatively minor, in that they do not require additional analysis or major reworking of the discussion paper, I find that the discussion paper should be published subject to minor revisions and assuming the authors incorporate all of their proposed revisions.

I now request that the authors revise their paper according to the proposed revisions in response to the reviewer comments.

The authors have responded to the reviewer comments and revised appropriately. The manuscript is now ready to be accepted for publication. I wish the authors all the best on this and their future research.
