Dear Bette Otto-Bliesner,

Thank you for providing comments to the reviews of your submission “Large-scale features of
Last Interglacial climate: Results from evaluating the lig127k simulations for CMIP6-PMIP4”

While the reviewers find that the article will provide an important reference for the CMIP process and a starting point for further more detailed lig127k analysis, they raised some concerns and asked for more detailed discussions of the results you are presenting. I am pleased to see your detailed answers to the reviewers’ comments, and your plans for corrections of your manuscript.

I thus invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript taking all review comments into accounts. Please note that if you choose to resubmit, your revised version of the manuscript will be sent for a second round of reviews.


Best regards

Johann Jungclaus

Guest editor

Dear Bette et al.,
as you can see from the referees' reports they both agree that the manuscript has improved significantly and that you and your co-authors have adaequately adressed the majoir poinys raised in the first round. Both raise some minor points that need some addtional clarification or discussion in the manuscript, as well as some technical issues. I therefore invite you to submit an updated manuscript and a short description how you assessed the reviewers's comments. Most likely, this will not be send out to the reviewers for another round.

Congratulations, Bette et al!
thanks for repsonding to the remaining issues raised by the reviewers.
