Dear authors,

I'm pleased to accept your manuscript, after a few minor things have been resolved.

One reviewer had the following additional comments:

- l 118 “All MCSs and isolated cells composited produce downdrafts that create a subsequent drop in the at the surface of more than 5 K in a 30-min period and have precipitation rates exceeding 10 mm h -1 within that same period.” Isn’t it clearer to directly state:
“every downdrafts, associated to either MCS or isolated cells, that create a subsequent drop in the at the surface of more than 5 K in a 30-min period and have precipitation rates exceeding 10 mm h -1 within that same period are composited”

- l 273: mixing would need TO be 2 times greater.

In addition, I found a few more minor things:

- Line 134: 11 plus 6 would make 17 events. Please clarify here and throughout the manuscript the correct amount of events.

- Line 107: seconds should be abbreviated as 's'

- Line 98: Please double-check the correct full form of AOSMET (Aerosol Observing System Surface Meteorology?).

- Line 103: Please define LT at its first occurrence.

- Line 212: To be consistent use Kelvin here as well.

- Please double-check the correct numbering of the figures within the text.

- Point 5 from Reviewer #2 was not specifically answered.

Thanks and kind regards

Paul Zieger.
