Dear Authors,

Thank you for responding to the reviewers. Yours in a rigorous study but I agree with the reviewers that it requires major revisions. I see a lot of potential in this paper and so I invite you submit a revised manuscript.

In its present form, the paper does not appear to make a significant contribution to the state of our knowledge. Of particular concern is the first point raised by reviewer 2: it is not clear if there is substantially new information here compared to the work has been done by the TRENDY community. I agree with your response that a study with a single model allows for detailed analysis. I would appreciate if you could pay extra attention to this particular issue while revising your paper.
