Comment:
This proposal is well written, referenced and technically adequate. It is integrated with PATH. The objectives, tasks and hypotheses are good. However, there is no indication of what climate data will be used and how it will be analyzed. It ranked in the middle top of the set. It gives no clear hypotheses other than regime scale forcing, and the methods are somewhat vague (what data?).
