Dear Jannick Fischer, Pieter Groenemeijer, Alois Holzer, Monika Feldmann, Katharina Schröer, Francesco Battaglioli, Lisa Schielicke, Tomáš Púčik, Christoph Gatzen, Bogdan Antonescu, and the TIM Partners!

Thank you for the submission of your very interesting manuscript “Invited perspectives: Thunderstorm Intensification from Mountains to Plains ”.

As you know, two reviewers have now provided detailed reviews, which you have replied in thoughtful detail to. The reviewers recommended minor 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). 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’).

I look forward to seeing the next version of your manuscript which I will then send out for further review to either the previous reviewers (if they agree) or new reviewers.

Best regards
Gregor Leckebusch

Dear Jannick Fischer, Pieter Groenemeijer, Alois Holzer, Monika Feldmann, Katharina Schröer, Francesco Battaglioli, Lisa Schielicke, Tomáš Púčik, Bogdan Antonescu, Christoph Gatzen, and the TIM Partners!

Thank you for the re-submission of your very interesting manuscript “Invited perspectives: Thunderstorm Intensification from Mountains to Plains”.

As you know, I sent the revised version out to the two reviewers again for their opinion. One reviewer could not come back to me in time, but the other did.
The reviewer recommended minor revisions, an estimate to which I fully agree, 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). 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’).

I look forward to seeing the next version of your manuscript which I will not send out for further review, but rather, will make the decision myself, assuming no major items come up in the revised manuscript for which I need outside reviewers to aid me in my decision.

Best regards,
Gregor Leckebusch
