Dear Authors

The two reviewers commend you on your careful revision work and have a few useful suggestions for improvements, which they ask you to implement.

In addition, I recommend to rework the abstract to sharpen the statements, in particular:
1) Please resolve the apparent contradiction in these two sentences: "However, the simulated clouds are mostly too thick, with too much liquid water and too little cloud-base drizzle,compared to observations from satellite and retrievals from ground-based observations at Graciosa Island in the Azores. The transects reveal a shallow, conditionally unstable boundary layer in the warm sector, accompanied by overly shallow clouds
with low liquid water content."
2) "unique insights into cloud and boundary layer evolution throughout a cyclone." do you mean in the context of a cyclone, or throughout the life cycle of a cyclone?
3) Please add one sentence that clarifies the implications of your work for model evaluation and more generally for our understanding of the state and/or behaviour of the atmosphere and climate, which is the main requirement for publication in ACP.

Please remove one of the first of the two References section title and the empty page.

After these changes have been implemented, I can accept the paper for final publication.

Kind regards
Franziska Aemisegger
