Reviewer 2 Report
This paper was well-written and its topic, the evolution of the Antarctic ice volume over time, is very significant and of interest to many readers. The authors use an interesting method, using complex Principal Components Analysis (CPCA), followed by wavelet analysis, to analyze the ice volume trends. Although the background theory behind CPCA is explained in the introductory sections of this paper, the same cannot be said for wavelet analysis. Although wavelet analysis is well-known, I still think it would be good to include a brief background on this topic so that the unacquainted reader can still understand the results and methodology. Otherwise, I think this paper was of high quality, and is almost ready for publication.
