I would like to thank the authors greatly for their thorough revision of the manuscript, and their careful consideration of the reviewers' requests. I believe the manuscript text is now sufficient for publication. However, before proceeding I would like to request that the authors revise Figures 3, 5, 6 and 10 in order to improve the eventual publication quality:

- The font size for figure 3 should be increased to be more consistent with the manuscript text. At present the axis and tickmark labels are difficult to read.

- Contour labels should be added to figure 5 directly, rather than relying on caption text to identify these labels.

- I have great difficulty reading Figure 6, largely because the realistic land cover coloring does not provide sufficiently high contrast with the domains. I would like to ask that the authors consider how this figure can be adjusted to improve readability.

- Regarding Figure 10, the color scheme for the axis box, labels, and text should be changed to black to improve the contrast of the figure against the background.

Thank you for your consideration of these changes.

Thank you for addressing these concerns. I have now accepted the paper for publication.
