Good changes with substantial additions. Very happy to see this product in ESSD.

Please I hope we can get a clean manuscript. The latest version i have shows still substantial (yellow) highlighting.

Not sure about this line in the caption to figure 5: "A complete list of reference is provided separately to the main dataset." This means references used in compiling the global data? Those references are supplemental to the list of references in the manuscript, e.g. the reference list downloaded from the GFZ site shows many more entries than the manuscript reference list. I believe this makes sense: as new data come in one would update the data source reference list while the manuscript reference list remains static? Please clarify which reference list used for which purpose. Perhaps the word 'supplement' needs to add to or replace the word 'separately'?

With clean manuscript and small change we can quickly move into final publication processes.
