Dear Authors

Thank you for providing a point-by-point answer to the issues raised by both reviewers.
I'm asking you now to provide a revised version of your manuscript that takes into account all the reviewers concerns, as well as you answers and clarifications.

Dear Authors

I've received a final assessment on your revised manuscript by the two reviewers. Both are very positive on the overall improvement of the manuscript and also on the clarifications and answers that you provided. Nevertheless, reviewer #2 is still asking for some additional "minor" changes. Therefore I'm happy to accept the paper on the condition that you'll handle properly the issues raised by this reviewer.

Best regards

Ricardo Trigo
