The authors have done a good job on responding to the comments of the reviewers and the paper is essentially ready for publication. However, there are a few specific items that need correcting.

Specific comments:

1. Line 34: Should be “depleted” not “deplete.”
2. Lines 65-66: While the authors corrected the vertical displacement of cyclonic and anti-cyclonic eddies in line 64 following my earlier comment, they did not change the following lines. I believe lines 65-66 should read “…eddies that contain downward displaced isopycnals below upward displaced ones.” rather than as written. Otherwise stratification will increase, not decrease. This then agrees with lines 78-79.
3. Line 107: “configuration used” not “used configuration.”
4. Line 128: Perhaps you could change “should show the same” to “be identical.”
5. Line 156: “only available during day time.”
6. Lines 161-162: Do you really need the information here about the use of the instrument in sea ice conditions? The sentence could be finished after “can be tracked exactly.” In fact, the whole paragraph could be omitted if you do not discuss any of the measurements mentioned here.
Line 166: Presumably this should read something like “with a grid spacing of 5m vertically and 0.02° (~2.2 km) horizontally respectively.”

Thanks for making those few changes. The manuscript can now be sent for publication.
