Suggestions for revision or reasons for rejection

This is from referee #3. The authors have substantially rewritten the paper and addressed all of my comments from the first review. I recommend that the paper be published after the following minor items are fixed. Page and line numbers refer to the updated manuscript (upd_manuscript.pdf).

Abstract, line 3. "the perspective of increasing wave activity" should probably be "the PROSPECT of increasing wave activity"

Abstract, line 7. "This rheological framework enables THE MODEL to efficiently track..."

Page 3, line 2. Replace the semicolon (;) with the word "and"

Page 3, line 19. "interactions processes parameterizations" -- either choose one of these words and delete the other two, or write, "interactions, processes, and parameterizations"

Page 3, line 24. "The dynamical aspects of wave-ice interactions HAVE received..."

Page 3, lines 34-35. "The originality of the study..." -- the next sentence is also "The originality of the study..." Delete one of them, or combine them into one sentence.

Page 4, line 31. The first "Ardhuin et al." should be inside parentheses: "(Ardhuin et al., 2018)."
Also, change "Like in the study" to "As in the study"

Page 5, line 24. "in A few hours"

Page 6, line 8. Change "a cover" to "an ice cover"

Page 6, line 26. Change "out of the scope" to "outside the scope"

Page 7, line 4. Delete the word "other" and the commas (,) around PHI_th and PHI_m, because PHI_m has already been discussed in this paragraph.

Page 7, line 14. Delete the word "a" (before "very little")

Page 9, line 16. Change "fake" to "false"

Page 10, line 12. Change "sea sate" to "sea state"

Page 10, line 15. "the model OF Williams"

Page 10, line 19. The second instance of "c_2_FS"
should be "c_2_lambda"

Page 10, line 26. "c_2_FS and c_2_FS" appears twice in this line. Maybe the second one of each pair should be c_2_lambda.

Page 10, line 30. "like in" should be either "like" or "as in"

Page 11, line 17, and other places in the paper. Consider replacing "coherent" with "consistent" where appropriate.

Page 14, line 12. Change "10-days run" to "10-day run"

Page 16, lines 4-5. Something is wrong with this sentence, please re-phrase.

Page 16, line 26. Change "Like in the study" to "As in the study"

Page 17, line 25. Delete the word "is" (after "period")

Page 17, line 27. "October" should be "November"

Page 18, line 1. Change "show" to "shows" and "floes" to "floe"

Page 18, line 16. Delete the word "all"

Page 20, line 5. Missing parenthesis after "(Figure 11c"

Page 23, line 23. Delete "this time"

Page 24, lines 10 and 15. Insert the word "the" before "Meylan et al. (2014) formula"

Page 25, line 19. "exported to the ocean" -- should this be "exported to the Atlantic Ocean"? Or maybe "exported out of the Arctic Ocean"?

Short summary

In this study, we investigate the interactions of surface ocean waves with sea ice. We focus on the evolution of sea ice after it has been fragmented by the waves. Fragmented sea ice is expected to experience less resistance to deformation. We reproduce this evolution using a new coupling framework between a wave model and the recently developed sea ice model neXtSIM. We find that waves can significantly increase the mobility of compact sea ice over wide areas in the wake of storm events.
