Dear Carlo and co-authors,
Thank you for the submission of your interesting manuscript “Changes in extreme precipitation patterns over the greater Caribbean and teleconnection with large-scale sea surface temperature”. As you know, two reviewers have now provided detailed reviews, which you have replied in thoughtful detail to. Both reviewers recommended major revisions and therefore I would like to invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript.

Please find more information about my assessment in the supplement.

Dear Carlo and co-authors,

Apologies for the delay in my answer. I am pleased to inform you that the revised version of your manuscript esd-2024-15 is accepted for publication subject to technical corrections in our journal Earth and System Dynamics. The second round of review was positive about your changes in the manuscript but highlighted again some typos and inconsistencies. This will need to be resolved before publication. Below is an non-exhaustive list so please carefully review the manuscript before the final submission:
- the CHIRPS dataset, sometimes appeared as chirps, Chirps, or CHIRPS-v2
- The acronym NASH and CLLJ are not defined
- All figures should be readable (axis, legend, etc) and follow the journal’s standards (for e.g. width not less than 8cm, minimum resolution of 300 dpi, see https://www.earth-system-dynamics.net/submission.html#figurestables ). The journal publication office team will also carefully check this.

You will soon be contacted by the journal publication office for the preparation of the final version of your manuscript. Please respond promptly to the requests of the publication office, as this will condition the time of your publication, and read carefully any copy-editing recommendations that they make.

Sincerely,

Anaïs
