o  | 
| 5 | 
Can we agree on coherent terminology of | 
| 6 | 
Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). | 
| 7 | 
 | 
| 8 | 
ML: OK, done. | 
| 9 | 
 |

o  | 
| 11 | 
Export numbers for free-slip, noslip are not consistent with what I have. | 
| 12 | 
Also, do we want to refer to annual mean, or rather integrated annual transport? | 
| 13 | 
 | 
| 14 | 
ML: I computed hu = -sum((SIheff+SIhsnow)*SIuice*area)/sum(area) at | 
| 15 | 
i=100,j=116:122, and then took mean(hu) and std(hu). What are your numbers? | 
| 16 | 
 | 
| 17 | 
o | 
| 18 | 
You've removed a lot of "basic" descriptions which I think need to be | 
| 19 | 
mentioned first before looking at pecularities | 
| 20 | 
 | 
| 21 | 
ML: OK, assuming that you put it back in, I am happy with the content of | 
| 22 | 
the text (but changed some wording ... ) | 
| 23 | 
 | 
| 24 | 
o | 
| 25 | 
Figure 5: | 
| 26 | 
Could you refine zonal grid to 10deg. spacing. | 
| 27 | 
(e.g. by slightly diminishing label size). | 
| 28 | 
 | 
| 29 | 
ML: I have put ticks every 10deg, but labels every 20deg (not so | 
| 30 | 
simple with m_grid | 
| 31 | 
 | 
| 32 | 
o  | 
| 33 | 
Figure 6: good, but a bit messy as it is now. | 
| 34 | 
I suggest to | 
| 35 | 
* remove bottom row (ice strength) | 
| 36 | 
* increase size of remaining plots, | 
| 37 | 
* add more separation between the rows, | 
| 38 | 
* add another 1-Jul line (in addition to the 1-Jan) line (for better orientation) | 
| 39 | 
Furthermore, an extra Figure which contains same type of Hovmueller plots for | 
| 40 | 
* current bottom row (ice strength) | 
| 41 | 
* row with ice concentration | 
| 42 | 
* row with ice thickness | 
| 43 | 
* row with snow thickness | 
| 44 | 
* row with SST | 
| 45 | 
(main reason is that ice strenght vs. precip. "correlations" don't fully hold up) | 
| 46 | 
Finally, would be nice to have a picture | 
| 47 | 
of the zonal section. | 
| 48 | 
 | 
| 49 | 
 | 
| 50 | 
ML: it's not a zonal section but a "meridional" (j-) average of grid | 
| 51 | 
points i=100:130, j=116:122, but maybe a section is a better idea? | 
| 52 | 
I have now actually removed some of the "inlets" that I have | 
| 53 | 
carelessly averaged over. |
