Dear Authors,

Thank you for submitting the revised version of your manuscript. Given the substantial revisions required after the initial submission, I sent the revised manuscript out for further assessment, which resulted in a slight delay.

Both reviewers agree that the manuscript has improved considerably. While the initial version would likely have been rejected, the revised manuscript is now considered suitable for further consideration, subject to major revisions. Several important points still require attention.

I encourage you to carefully address all reviewer comments, with particular attention to the major concerns highlighted in their reports.

Thank you for the effort you have invested in this process.

Best regards,
Ludovic Räss

Dear authors,

Thank you for providing a revised version of your manuscript which significantly improves over previous version based on the reviewers feedback. Before we can finalise the publication, I would like you to clarify the following 4 items.

- It is unclear if changes were made to the codebase, given you, e.g., modified the way you account for effective pressure. The GitHub project is still pointed at v1.0.0, while the Zenodo archive has already a v3 uploaded. It may be ideal to have this in sync and possibly follow semantic versioning (https://semver.org) scheme.
- The Zenodo DOI link on line 568 may not resolve correctly given there is an extra whitespace.
- Some of your figures and charts may challenge readers with reduced colour perception and alternative presentations may be recommended.
- You may want to make sure to address the potentially still open items flagged during file upload and revision.

Once you addressed these points, we could further proceed.

Thank you for your contribution.

Best regards,
Ludovic Räss
