Dear Albenis, thanks for providing Figure 4 for the paper! Here are some remarks we discussed during last week's meeting. If anything is unclear let me/us know.

Could you add labels to the figure? (a) etc.
There was a remark to include WRF-WVT —> Include subplot using average values per region
Include the mean of all methods in Fig 4. as well
Only show the main members of each method. (together with the multi-method mean that would add up to 15 panels which would fit nicely in a 3 by 5 panel figure)

Hi. I am not sure if plotting WRF-WVT in the same plot as the other models is a good idea. I have been checking the gridded moisture sources contribution from WRF-WVT simulations and their values are lesser than 1 (but in millimetres). That is, these values are out of scale compared with the other models for spatial plotting. In addition, WRF-WVT does not provide a spatial pattern of moisture source contributions. @crespoalfredo could give us more insights about it.

I have updated Figure 4 (plots for Pakistan, Australia and Scotland cases). I am not happy with plotting WRF-WVT in this figure. Based on my previous comment, I have scaled the WRF-WVT values using the colour bar max value to show my point of view. As you can see, It is confusing and can cause a misinterpretation of the overall results. I recommend removing it from Figure 4.
