Dear Authors,

We have received two positive reviews to your technical note and I agree that this work would make a great contribution to the HESS community. Thanks for your comprehensive responses to the comments provided by the reviewers. I ask you to implement the changes to the document as outlined in your response to the comments. I particularly welcome the addition of the two paragraphs to the start of section 4.5, which address key questions from both reviewers. This publication is targeted at the users of the scripts and I think they would benefit from your reflections in these paragraphs.

With regards to the ‘things that didn’t work’, in response to reviewer 1 suggestions for the case where TTDs are humped: I fully appreciate that it is an impossible task to list all the ideas you tried and didn’t work. On the other hand, it is probably no coincidence that you already tried both of the suggestions that the reviewer made and other readers/users will probably have similar intuitive ideas. I would therefore ask you consider including a short description of these to the discussion of the relevant sections 4.2 and 4.3. This should serve in advancing any future work that builds on this to start at the next step.

Best wishes,
Josie
