Review of Estimating the Probability of Compound Floods in Estuarine Regions

Abstract

The manuscript introduces and discusses the strength and weaknesses of three approaches commonly applied to analyze compound flooding in estuaries. The approaches are demonstrated in the Swan River system in Western Australia where some of the discussed advantage and disadvantages manifest. The manuscript is informative, topical, and generally well written. In my opinion, after implementing the revisions given below (and those given by the other reviewer!!) the manuscript will warrant publication in HESS. General comments.-Since half of the manuscript is a review of the methods used in previous studies more references to previous applications of the discussed approaches would be desirable. Please see the specific comments for some examples of where this is the case. C1
