The author needs to publicly archive the code for the exact version of KAQPS v1, or explain why this is impossible for reasons beyond their control (usually this is for copyright reasons).

A more in-depth explanation of GMD code requirements is available in the recent editorial: https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-12-2215-2019

For future articles, in response to review, it would be helpful to include updated text directly in the response to reviewers (in addition to, or instead of, providing the line number of new text). Track changes should also indicate removed text (e.g. via Word difference tool).

In the code/data availability statement, please provide a detailed licensing statement (in agreement with the MSIT if required) regarding code distribution. Since the code is not being publicly archived, GMD requires the restrictions be clearly stated.

Thank you for providing the github code. Could a persistent identifier (doi) be provided as well to comply with the best practice level? This is in case the github code changes in the future. Some authors have found zenodo, which interfaces with github, and reasonable way to obtain a doi, but other methods are available as well.
Thanks!
