The authors have proposed extensive revisions consistent with the comments from the three reviewers. These changes include removing discussion of the dataless sites, focusing on the impact of PBL scheme/grid spacing/simulation time. I look forward to the revised version of the manuscript that incorporates these changes.

The paper is in a very good shape, with a few caveats and corrections as noted below. These should be straightforward to correct.

1. Please rewrite the sentence at the top of page 6, “The simulation and spin-up length ranged from 1 hour and 7 simulation to continuously running for the full year.” What is the “1 hour and 7 simulation” intended to mean?
2. Top of page 7: how much model data was rejected for being unphysical?
3. Top of page 8: “shear” instead of “sheer”
4. Page 9 line 16: explicitly state that this section is looking at the mean profile over the entire year.
5. Page 12, line 9: finish the sentence, please.
6. Page 12, line 11: reference? Perhaps http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/2010BAMS2770.1 ?
7. Page 12, line 14: please refer to previous work using these stability classifications.
8. Caption for Figure 7: please explain the box/whiskers: are the ends of the bars representing +- one standard deviation, the 9th and 91st percentile, the 2nd and 98th percentile, or some other choice? Could also be helpful to state the middle bar is the median.
9. Page 14 line 11: “contrast” instead of “contract”
10. Page 17 line 12: please explicitly state whether MYNN is considered to be MYJ or not for this purpose. This section would also benefit from a brief (1-2 sentence) discussion of local vs non-local PBL schemes to explain why there is likely a difference between YSU and MY* schemes. And if MYNN is not included with the MYJ schemes, please explain why not.
11. Page 18 line 6: which model was the single most accurate?
12. Page 21 line 3: should “No conclusive evidence” be tempered with “For these sites, no conclusive evidence was found that …” to make it clear that the answer might not be the same in complex terrain?
13. Page 21 line 7: please clarify what “many more runs” means. I think you mean more runs where the PBL scheme and the grid resolution is held constant but the lead-time is varied?

Thank you for your interesting and useful contribution to Wind Energy Science. It's a pity the data won't be publicly-available, but at least you were able to gather several contributions to the model intercomparison by promising to preserve the anonymity.
