Dear Authors,
Thank you very much for replying the various reviewers' comments. This is sincerely appreciated. I regret that you didn't take the opportunity to directly interact with the reviewers as the opportunity was given to you. You may have noticed that the careful reviews raised several important points that you were already addressing. So I invited you to submit a revised version of your initial manuscript that I will submit for review to the initial reviewers of your paper.
All the very best

Dear Authors,
Thank you very much for having greatly improved your former manuscript. As you could notice all reviewers are very happy with the revised version. However reviewer 1 still requires some clarification in the revised version, the reason why I ticked the major revision option to allow him to check the last corrections he requested. Reviewer 2 required very minor corrections that I am sure you will easily complete.
When all that will be completed, I will be pleased to accept your paper for publication.
Looking forward to reading your revised version
All the very best

Dear authors,
Thank you very much for having carefully considered the reviewers comment and therefore having revised accordingly your manuscript. As you could read, the reviewers are happy with your last revised version and they require as I noticed on my side that some papers cited, and more specifically papers from Climate of the Past, were under the "discussion form" while they are presently published. So please update the references accordingly and doing so, I will be pleased to accept your paper for publication.
Thank you very much once more for considering Climate of the Past as the forum to publish your results.
All the very best
