Dear Authors

Thank you for the revision of your paper. The reviewers are happy with your responses, but they both think that the paper could be improved by added some of your response into the paper as well. Please add some of your answers to the three comments by referee 1. I think it is good to state explicitly somewhere that third order statistics is not considered in the paper (and why, if there is a simple reason).

Referee 2 states:
"The authors have addressed all my comments in their response pdf. However, it would be nicer, for the sake of completeness of the work, to include part of this discussion in their revised text (especially the discussion on points 1 and 2 of my comments). By doing so I believe clarity of the reported work will be further improved.

The comment about the equivalent loads has to do with the selected reference period of 1s and not the sampling frequency of the data. Equivalent loads could be calculated for different values of T (period). The one you have chosen corresponds to 1Hz and therefore EFL are called 1Hz."
PLEASE, use the response to improve the paper again.

In addition
1) The fourth Jonkman reference has an "n" too much.
2) In the Madsen reference "Sørensen" misses "Sø"

Please fix these last, minor issues so that the paper can be published soon.

Sincerely,

Jakob Mann

Thank you for improving the paper one last time. I think it is ready for publication now. Sincerely, Jakob Mann
