Many thanks for submitting your work to WCD!

L52: which shape -> whose shape
L233: high ascent number -> high number of ascending air parcels / trajectories (?)
L330: rapids -> rapid
L332: theta_e please use math mode

Fig. 1: Labelling the features discussed in the study is indeed really helpful. However, some of the labels are hard to read (e.g., WCB outflow), partly because they overlap with the grid lines or thick contours. Please adjust labels such that they are easier to read. For instance, you might use abbreviations that fit between grid lines and are then spelled out in the caption. Alternatively you could also reduce the density of grid lines. Labels in the other figures are easier to read.

Fig. 5: Blueish theta_e contours are really hard to see, especially where they overlap with shading. Please adjust the contours and also consider adding some contour labels or a legend.
