Dear Authors,

I have now received and evaluated the reports from the two anonymous reviewers. I believe that the manuscript has considerably improved from its original version.
I will be ready to accept it for publication once you have taken into account the additional comments from the two reviewers, in particular with grammar and wordiness.
I will also recommend that you read and follow the WES guidelines for authors in https://www.wind-energy-science.net/for_authors/manuscript_preparation.html.

Best regards,
Andrea Hahmann

Dear authors,

I find that you have provided an adequate resolution to all questions. Your revisions have greatly improved the quality of the manuscript. However, a few technical issues remain. Some of the figures and figure captions don't follow the WES guidelines.
(1) The caption of figure 2 and figure 11 is hard to follow. Perhaps using labels (e.g. (a), (b)) will help.
(2) Figure 5 should not use subfigures. I quote "Please provide only one figure file for figures with several panels, and please do not use \subfloat or similar commands." Can you incorporate the two panels into a single figure caption?
(3) P31, L23, "(at an elevation angle of 60 degrees)" please use the degree symbol.
(4) Figure 18, please use labels (a) and (b) instead of (left) and (right).
(5) Figure 20, please use labels (a) and (b) instead of (top) and (bottom).
(6) There is a missing ref in P35, L2.
(7) In the references, could you provide URLs to the cited reports and PhD thesis?

Please follow the suggestions of the associate editor
