Dear Ira and Co-authors,

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to the Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS). Your paper “Nonlinear deformation and run-up of single tsunami waves of positive polarity: numerical simulations and analytical predictions “ has been critically reviewed by outside peer reviewers. After the discussion round, the reviewers recommend reconsideration of your paper following major revisions. We invite you to resubmit your corrected manuscript after addressing all reviewer comments. When resubmitting your manuscript, please carefully consider all issues mentioned in the reviewers' comments.

For a revised manuscript version, in order to make easier and faster for the reviewers to check the final manuscript, the structure of your reply in discussion: first the author's response and next a revised manuscript version using track changes is appropiated.

Sincerely,

Mauricio González
