Dear Authors

Thank you for your answers and edits in the manuscript.

some minor formal requirements:
Thank you for editing the figures of the global distribution maps
– the font size of the subtitles a), b) c) is inconsistent – e.g. too large for figure 9
In the Supplement please also enlarge the global distribution maps figures 2 to 6 and provide a consistent font size for the subtitles in the manuscript and the supplement

Data publication in Zenodo:
Please add the information on the issue that the products are currently not readable in SNAP to the abstract and the information that a new update VODCA with the 2019 data will be available in January 2020.
This will become a new version of the data set including 2019 that should be published under the same DOI, but with another version number, Zenodo is supporting versioning.

We are looking forward to your final manucript
best regards Birgit
