My attachment addresses these issues, but the English quality remains quite poor.  The authors should spend time or invest in English support when conducting any revisions to this study.  I also wonder if a study addressing SST anomalies is relevant to the journal topic of data assimilation within tropical cyclones.  I feel like this work does not fit into that study context at all.

Reviewer 2 Report (Previous Reviewer 2)

An improved version comparative to the previous one.

The analysis is coherent and the results are pertinent. In my opinion a modification of the fig. 4th figure is necessary because it is’ heardly readable.

Reviewer 3 Report (Previous Reviewer 3)

Dear authors, the article is well written, I just see the need for figure 3 to include a table and make a more in-depth discussion about the frequency of the number of cyclones.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comparative to the prevous studies, you analyze the distribution number of cases of tropical cyclones (typhoons) which affect the Hanan province during the season without flood between  (1980 – 2021. The study upon CMA has at its basis a series of correlations between the NCEP/NCAR, JMA SST and NCEP data upon the temperature of the water from SST  sea with a case study.

In my opinion, there is a series of aspects which should be improved / remade:

- fig. 4 is hardly readable;

- in the subchapter 4.1, in the text, there is the omitted figure – what does it cover?

- In the subchapter 6. – conclusions and discussions- the first paragraph is confusing. It’s about ENSO or just one of the components (La Niña/ El Niño ), higher/lower SST etc.
