Dear Thabo,
Thank you for nicely addressing the reviewers’ comments!
I am happy to accept the manuscript, but I have one last minor question.

I cannot wrap my head around the fact that there are so few "warm anvils." In my view of tropical convective systems, particularly in areas of large-scale ascent such as the tropical Pacific, I thought conditions would be favorable for the maintenance of widespread thin anvil cloud shields. These anvil clouds may not necessarily have warmer cloud tops, but they can become semi-transparent in the longwave spectrum, thus appearing "warm."

However, your snapshot in Figure 1c clearly shows that this does not appear to be the case in your study area. Why?

Also, are warm anvils statistically meaningful given the small number of such systems?

I would appreciate a brief comment on these points in your manuscript.

Thank you,
Blaž

Thanks for the clarification, I am happy to accept it now, congratulations!

Best,
Blaž
