Dear author,

Thank you for your prompt response. I’ll ask both referees to review the improved manuscript once more. Then I’ll come back to you with the decision.
Best regards
Yours cordially

Dear Dr. Sotomayor-Beltran,

I appreciate your attention you paid to the referee´s comments and the efforts you made when improving the manuscript.
Recently one of the referees would like to read once again the latest version of the manuscript. After I´ll receive the referee´s response the decision will be made.

From my side, I would suggest to make change in the title of the Chapter 3.4 newly to "Comparison with ionospheric response during St. Patrick´s day 2015 geomagnetic storm" " or to something like that to fit better the title of the manuscript.
Kindest regards

Yours cordially

Dear Dr. Sotomayor-Beltran,
I am coming back to you with the last steps necessary to do before your manuscript will be accepted for publication. One of the referees in the last report asked for some technical corrections for your convenience included below:

The author corrected the article in accordance with the referee´s reviews. The discussion section was substantially improved. But there are several technical corrections to be made:
What was changed in line 21 (pg. 1)? Do you removed all the references? The statement “By analyzing the latitudinal profiles, it could be determined that the increment of TEC to produce this LTE was of 241.2%” (pg 7, lines 5-6) makes no sense. As far as I understand, LTE is a TEC increment. If you mean to show the LTE intensity, just present TEC value. Currently it is unclear what do you take as a 100%. Figures 1 and 5 are to be edited since they take a significant space and do not give too much information. Add a grid and more frequent tick marks to Y-axes for Bz and Dst panels. Pictures of differential VTEC (figs. 2 and 3) looks better, but need higher contrast. Try to use colormap ‘seismic’ from matplotlib package.


I would appreciate it, if you could consider the comments and introduce appropriate corrections into the manuscript. After you´ll send the manuscript with the corrections and comments back to me, I´ll check it in a very short time. I believe that this will be the final work to do.
Best regards

Yours cordially
