Dear author,

I consider your manuscript should be published if you include the revisions I mention in the attached document.

With best regards

Dear Dr Akoglu,

Thank you for your revised version of the manuscript. I consider it can be published given the following technical corrections:

-p.3, l.4: I propose to change “and a Fortran recoding of EwE might facilitate this.” for “and the Fortran recoding of EwE presented in this paper will facilitate this. “

-p.3, l.9: For consistency, please change “End-to-End” for “end-to-end”

-p.17, l.1-2: For better readability, please change “, however it is explained in the User's Manual in detail.” for “, which however is explained in the User's Manual in detail. ”

-p. 18, l.2-3: Please change “that,” for “that ” and “are” for “is” in the sentence “considering that, the development of EwE-F is a joint effort of two prominent marine science institutes and are not strictly bound to any individual.”

-p.18, l.4-5: Please rewrite the 2nd part of the sentence “This guarantees the consistent development of EwE-F at the very least case of maintenance for compliance with EwE.” or remove it completely as it is somewhat redundant with the rest of the paragraph.
