Abstract. This paper describes and analyzes the Reed-Jablonowski (RJ) tropical cyclone (TC) test case used in the 2016 Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project (DCMIP2016). The intermediate complexity test case analyzes the evolution of a weak vortex into a TC in an idealized tropical environment. Simulations from 9 general circulation models (GCMs) that participated in DCMIP2016 are analyzed in this study at 50 km horizontal grid spacing, with 5 of these models also providing simulations at 25 km grid spacing for an analysis on the impact of finer grid spacing. Evolution of minimum surface pressure (MSP) and maximum 1 km azimuthally averaged wind speed (MWS), the wind-pressure relationship, radial profiles of wind speed and surface pressure, and wind composites are documented for all participating GCMs at both horizontal grid spacings. While results are generally similar between all models, some GCMs reach significantly higher storm intensities than others, ultimately impacting specific characteristics of their horizontal and vertical structure. TCs simulated at 25 km grid spacings retained these differences, but reach higher intensities and are more compact than their 50 km counterparts. These results indicate dynamical core choice is an essential factor in GCM development, and future work should be conducted to explore how specific differences within the dynamical core affect TC behavior in GCMs.

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.htmlFirst, 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.
