Dear Dr. Fer and co-authors,

Thank you for the resubmission of your manuscript and the elaborate response to the comments by the referees. I am satisfied with your answers and revised manuscript, which is now accepted for publication in Ocean Science.
Please account for the last few technical issues listed below before final submission.

L6 „In contrast to observations in Svinøy” Since the reader does not know where this is, this needs some info about the position of Svinøy as compared to the LE.

L342-343 “The annual average wind speed increased to 6 ms-1 in winter …” I think the phrasing is not correct. The annual average cannot increase to a value in winter, because the annual average is also valid in winter. Please rephrase.

Section 10 This is called conclusions, but actually most of it is summary of results. Maybe change the header to Summary and Conclusions?
