Dear Marc Andreevsky, Yasser Hamdi, Samuel Griolet, Pietro Bernardara, and Roberto Frau,

Thank you for the submission of your manuscript “Regional frequency analysis of extreme storm surges using the extremogram approach”.

As you know, two reviewers have now provided detailed reviews, which you have replied in detail to. Both reviewers recommended from moderate to major revisions and therefore I would like to invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript.

Would you please also provide an ‘author’s reply’ to the reviewers (feel free to use the same words that you used in what you have already uploaded) and include, in the same author reply document, a track changes document between the old manuscript and the new one.

I look forward to seeing the next version of your manuscript and will send it out again to the previous reviewers.

Regards,
Ira Didenkulova
NHESS Editor
