The article “Deriving six components of Reynolds stress tensor from a single ADCP data”.
Sergey Bogdanov, Roman Zdorovennov, Nikolay Palshin, Galina Zdorovennova.
We are thankful to the Reviewer for the careful reading of the manuscript and valuable comments and advices.
Point 1:
Please introduce the pro and cons of the traditional methods and the proposed method in calculating Reynolds stress.
Response 1:
We stressed the advantage of the new method in lines 66-68.
Point 2:
Line 148. The step-by-step calculation is confusing. Some better explanations could be helpful.
Response 2:
It seems, that the derivation of (eq. (5), i ≠ j) is the most challenging. So, we rearranged the text, devoted to structure functions. The Appendix was expanded by including the proper definitions and relationships.
Point 3:
The validation can be further improved using some error analysis or uncertainty discussion.
Response 3:
We modified the figure 5 (former Fig. 4) by including the additional panel, which present the results of the off-diagonal stresses. Additionally, we presented on this figure those time intervals, which correspond to realizability conditions violations.
