Dear Authors,

Many thanks for taking time in addressing all of the comments from the 3 reviews you have received. In particular for noting the major changes you have undertaken on the manuscript in response to feedback from Reviewer 1. From the reviews and responses I can see the majority of changes suggested (and undertaken) were very minor and I now suggest that this paper is accepted in light of the stated changes made to the paper.

I choose to list this paper as "publish subject to minor revisions (review by editor)" as I would like to have a thorough read of the manuscript given the substantial changes you have made to the paper.

I would also like to thank you for your patience during the review process, which I appreciate for myriad reasons was a little slow at times.

Best wishes
Keely

Dear authors, I would like to thank you for the time and consideration that you have put into reviewing your manuscript, and for the wealth of changes that you have included in your revised version. I have now assessed the manuscript alongside the comments from the reviewers and I am happy for this to proceed to the next stage. I am satisfied that this manuscript is acceptable for publication. There are a very small number of technical corrections that need to be addressed (please see attached file) - but given the length of time that it has taken for your manuscript to move through the review system, I am hesitant to hold off the process any longer. The corrections I have listed in the attached documents are unrelated to the quality of the science or the written aspect of your work (they are indeed technical - spaces between numbers and units or removal of commas for example). I would ask that these few edits are addressed during the proof-reading stage of the publication process (many of the issues would likely be picked up during copy-editing).

I would like to thank you for the effort that you have invested in the manuscript, and thank you for your patience throughout the peer-review process.

Best wishes
Keely
