Dr. Rawlins - thank you very much for your extended answers to all of the questions raised by the three reviewers, and you appear to have revised your manuscript following your replies to the reviewers. I would like to now send your manuscript out for further review.

Thanks

Philip Marsh

Thank you very much for your revised manuscript. As outlined earlier, I will send this back to the referees. Philip Marsh

Good morning Dr. Rawlins. I will send this out to the reviewers again and ask if they can deal with your paper quickly. I appolgize for the "complexity" and delay in getting your paper sent out again.
Cheers, Phil

Dr. Rawlins - I would like to thank you for the effort you have put into revising your paper. I agree with the two reviewers that this version of the paper is greatly improved. Following from their suggestions, I am recommending that the paper be accepted. You will note that each reviewer has suggested minor changes to your paper. I agree with them that these changes will be rather minor, but would significantly improve your paper. I hope that you incorporate these suggested changes.
Thank you for your efforts and in choosing The Cryosphere.
Phil
