Dear Dr. Koenig,

Thank you for resubmitting your interesting paper on the OIB 2009-12 radar-detected buried supraglacial lakes of Greenland to The Cryosphere.

I appreciated your thorough revision of the paper in the light of the first set of reviewers comments. I and one of the original reviewers now find this a much better framed piece which presents an important new dataset and conceptual model.

I am now suggesting that the paper may be publishable if the minor revisions I propose are considered in full. I would ask you to read through the returned supplement with editorial comments, and to return to TC with a revised manuscript that explains where you have adopted suggested changes, or can explain why you disagree.

With best wishes,

Rob B

Dear Dr Koenig and colleagues,

It is my pleasure now to accept your manuscript "Wintertime storage of water in buried supraglacial lakes across the Greenland Ice Sheet."

I thank you for your most recent minor revisions which now make the paper ready for publication.

More generally, thank you for submitting this interesting work to The Cryosphere.

Very best wishes,

Robert Bingham
