Dear authors,
Thank you very much for submitting this interesting paper to Climate of the Past. You may have noticed that I invited 4 reviewers to comment on your paper. All are very positive and require publication. However, 2 reviewers made some substantial comments that you replied during the discussion phase. Therefore, I invite you to submit the revised version of your manuscript. Now, because I want reviewers Paula Reimer and Niklas Boers to check your revised version, the only option provided by the Copernicus system is presently to select "major revision". So please don't misinterpret my decision.
All the very best

Dear Florian,
The two reviewers are pleased with the revised version that you submitted and therefore I will accept it for publication provided that you reply the very last comments that reviewer 1, Niklas Boers, posted.
Thanks you once more for submitting your interesting paper to Climate of the Past. I look forward to reading other submissions from yourself or your colleagues.
All the very best
