Dear Dr. Ayache,
many thanks for your discussion comments! Biogeosciences has changed their workflow - so that you first would need to wait until you get the editor decision based on the discussion and then prepare your new manuscript. I saw from a separate mail-message (and also your comments) that you already have prepared a revised version (according to the new workflow, you would in principle start with preparing the first revised version after my message here; but no problem here). After receipt of this message here, you will be able to upload your revised paper (the one you sent separately to Copernicus/Biogeosciences already; however, I cannot upload this paper for you myself). I will then look at it and decide on the further progress. Please, let me know in case of questions. Many thanks for contributing to this special issue. Best wishes, Christoph

Dear Dr. Ayache,
many thanks for your revised manuscript and the report about the changes made. I am happy to accept your manuscript for publication in Biogeosciences. Please, make one small technical correction before publication: The numbers and text at the axes of the diagrams in Figure 4 should be plotted in a larger font - otherwise the diagrams may be difficult to read in the final version. Congratulations with your paper and thanks for contributing to this special issue. Best wishes, Christoph Heinze
