Your response to to the reviewer’s comments has now been evaluated.

While many comments have been addressed in the revised manuscript, some appear to have not been addressed:

* To shorten the introduction so that it becomes a concise introduction to the manuscript (suggested by Rev #1). Despite the suggestion to shorten, the revised manuscript is longer now by 2 pages!

* To better justify the pre-study in Californian waters or consider removing it (Rev #1)

* To modify the title of the manuscript so that it better reflects its contents with regard to the geographical area covered (see Rev #2).


Once these minor modifications are made, the paper can be published.

Dear Authors,

thanks for a quick response.

The section numbering in Sect 2. needs to be changed, now there are multiple subsections with the same numbers.

Best wishes
Nina
