Dear authors,
Scientifically your paper is acceptable for publication in ACP, but technically it has to be improved significantly before it can be accepted. There are still too many simple grammatical errors, many of which are listed below. Please make the respective changes and have the manuscript proofread THOROUGHLY by an experienced co-author. Please confirm explicitly to me in a revised version that this has been done, because this proof-reading is not the task of the editor.

In addition, the Figures 10-13 are not embedded in the manuscript. You refer to an appendix, but there is no official appendix section. An appendix often has a short text that relates the figures to the statements in the main text. If you think that this is not necessary you should refer to specific figures in the appendix. As it is now, you let the reader search which figures belong to which statement in the main paper.

Best regards
Thomas Röckmann

Short summary

The recent decades loss of Arctic sea ice provide an interesting opportunity to study the impact of sea ice changes on the isotopic composition of Arctic precipitation. Using a climate model that can simulate water isotopes, we find that reduced sea ice extent yields more enriched isotope values while increased sea ice extent yields more depleted isotope values. Results also show that the spatial distribution of the sea ice extent are important.
