This paper is nearly ready for publication. Please edit line 925-927: This revised sentence is a little awkward and reads a bit contradictory. Reviewer 1 suggests you reword to something like: "On interannual to multidecadal time scales, oxygen variability in the ETSP is expected to be influenced by similar processes as those influencing the ETNA (see end of Sect. 7), albeit in response to the different large-scale climate modes that impact each ocean basin. In the Pacific ...."
However the other reviewer maintains that :
"There are really important differences in the dynamics of the thermocline (interannual modes in the Pac as opposed to seasonal/intraseasonal modes in the Atlantic) well as on the ocean - shelf interactions between the two basins. these translate to different climate sensitivities. It should be a paper about the ETNA and the removal of the ETSP will clarify the goals of the paper and its implications."

I would like the authors to at least acknowledge the differences and work to keep the focus on the Atlantic.

Thank you for your contribution.
