Dear Dr. Rodehacke,

I examined your responses to the reviewers. I think they are in a good shape. I'm looking forward to your updated manuscript.

Kind regards,
Yun Liu

Dr. Rodehacke,

I am now in receipt of enough reviews of the manuscript entitled “ Precipitation Ansatz dependent Future Sea Level Contribution by Antarctica based on CMIP5 Model Forcing” by Christian B. Rodehacke, Madlene Pfeiffer, Tido Semmler, Özgür Gurses, and Thomas Kleiner.

On the basis of these reviews and my own evaluation, it appears that the manuscript may be acceptable for publication in the Earth System Dynamics subject to some major and mandatory revision. Acceptance is contingent upon you (and your co-authors) satisfactorily addressing the concerns and suggestions of the reviewers.

Thank you for considering the Earth System Dynamics for the publication of your research results.

Sincerely,

Yun Liu, Editor,
Earth System Dynamics

Dear Dr. Rodehacke,

Now we have the reports from both reviewers. One of the reviewer suggests minor revision with some comments. Most of the comments are for improving language and readability, which, I think, are valuable to incorporate into the manuscript.

Kind regards,
Yun Liu

Congratulations!

Sincerely,
