Dear Ronja M. Ebner and Paul Meijer,

Thank you very much for your detailed responses to the reviewers' comments. Based on the reviewers' comments and your responses and related plans for the revision I would like to invite you to submit your revised manuscript following moderate to minor revisions. When submitting your revised manuscript, please make sure to submit both a clean version and a track changes version where the changes done are clearly visualized. Please also attach your responses to the comments, aligning with the changes done in the revised manuscript.

I am looking forward to seeing the new version of your manuscript.

Dear Ronja Ebner, dear Paul Meijer,

thank you for submitting your revised manuscript. I have read through your revised version and find that you are addressing well the concerns raised by the reviewers or rebutting them. So, I am happy to except your manuscript for publication, subject to technical corrections that I am pointing out in the attached annotated manuscript. Several of those comments will probably be addressed in the proofs, but before the manuscript moves to the proof stage, you should verify the call-outs to the figures, where I believe some were not changed after figure 1 was added to the manuscript and figure 7 might not be cited at all in the text (or I overlooked it), and correct processional to precessional.

Kind regards,
Antje Voelker
