Dear authors,

Unfortunately, after checking your manuscript, it has come to our attention that it does not comply with our "Code and Data Policy".

https://www.geoscientific-model-development.net/policies/code_and_data_policy.html
First, in your manuscript, you state that the data will be published in Dryad upon publication. We can not accept this, all the assets of your manuscript must be available at submission time. Therefore, please, publish your data in one of the appropriate repositories that we list, and reply to this comment with the relevant information (link and DOI) as soon as possible, as it should be available for the Discussions stage.
Also, in the code repository, there is no license listed. If you do not include a license, the code continues to be your property and can not be used by others. Therefore, please, add one. You could want to choose a free software/open-source (FLOSS) license. We recommend the GPLv3. You only need to include the file 'https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt' as LICENSE.txt with your code. Also, you can choose other options that Zenodo provides: GPLv2, Apache License, MIT License, etc.
Please, reply as soon as possible to this comment with the link for it so that it is available for the peer-review process, as it should be.

  Dear Juan,
  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. A BSD-2 license was added to the code repository and the data has been submitted to Dryad and will be publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.fttdz08z5 once their curation process is complete.

    Dear authors,
    Many thanks for your reply. However, for the records and the attention of the topical editor, as this should have been done before accepting the manuscript for Discussions, we should not continue with the review process, and no decision should be made on this manuscript, until the dataset is public.
    I guess that the best way of managing this is that you post a reply to this comment with the link when the dataset is public to everyone without restrictions.

Short summary

Accurate simulation of tropical cyclones (TCs) is essential to understanding their behavior in a changing climate. One way this is accomplished is through model intercomparison projects, where results from multiple climate models are analyzed to provide benchmark solutions for the wider climate modeling community. This study describes and analyzes the previously developed TC test case for nine climate models in an intercomparison project, providing solutions that aid in model development.
