Many thanks for uploading the answers to both reviewers. In order to provide a consistent revised version of the manuscript I ask you to upload asap a unique revised version (including the new supplemental figures) so I can send to the reviewers again.

Dear authors

Both reviewers were please with the clarifications and overall improvement of the manuscript. Still reviewer #1 has raised an additional issue requiring a bit more evidence about the impact of the cumulus parameterization on the simulation.

Therefore I'm glad to accept the manuscript for publication, conditioned on your capacity to provide a final clarification of this issue.

Best regards

Ricardo Trigo
