in order to be consistent with the responses to the evaluators, I invite the authors to add a sentence at the end of paragraph 2 (All data are then gridded to obtain a new bathymetry map of LCIS.) by rephrasing the concept expressed in their answer (invariably oceanographers will create bathymetric grids using their preferred method, specific to their preferred model and resolution. As such, they are unlikely to use gridded products directly in their models. The gridded product presented here is simply an aid to discussion and to highlight the value of these new data)

Page 5 line 1: range (-2 to -13 °C ...) of course this is a mistake! please correct it.
