Dear Chiara and coauthors

Thank you for the submission of your very interesting manuscript “Observations for high-impact weather and their use in verification”.

As you know, two reviewers have now provided detailed reviews, which you have replied in thoughtful detail to. Both reviewers consider that you have submitted a good paper, and they only recommended minor revisions. I join the congratulations of both reviewers.

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). Please can you also include a track changes document between the old manuscript and the new one (you can include this as part of your ‘author’s reply’).

Best Regards
Prof. Maria Carmen Llasat
