Dear Authors,

Thank you for your detailed responses to the Reviewers comments. Your responses appear extensive and adequate but given the large number of changes required, a second round of reviews will be required. Please upload your revised version. Please also note that your responses to Reviewers should not be considered as just a dialogue between Authors and Reviewers. In general remarks by Reviewers should result in proposed changes to your manuscript, or in an explanation why changes are not required. Just responding to the Reviewer is not sufficient. It is considered that some readers will have the same question as the Reviewers so that in general changes are required. You do propose changes most of the time, and this is much appreciated, but not in some instances. For example, in your responses to Reviewer 2 regarding her/his comment about your lines 113, 126, 132, 153, and others, you do not seem to propose any changes to clarify your text. Thank you for considering this aspect.

I look forward to reading your revised version.

Dear Authors,

Two reviews of our revised paper are available. Both reviewers note the significant improvements in your paper but still recommend further improvements. In particular Report #2 recommends additions to Figure 10 and some restructuring between the main text and the appendix.
Please address these comments and submit a revised version. I will evaluate your changes myself and do not plan an extra round of reviews.

I look forward to reading your next version
Best regards

Florent Domine

Dear Authors
In general, your revisions appear adequate except in one instance.
In the tracked changes version, Line 434, you write:
"Eclipse is high enough latitude that the sun position in the sky is considerably further south in the winter than summer (approximately a 30° difference in azimuth between noon on 21 June and noon on 21 December)."
I do not understand this. Azimuth is a horizontal angle and is always the same at noon. I must have missed something. Can you please elaborate and possibly correct?
Thank you
