The Role of Non-Hydrostatic Effects in Nonlinear Dispersive Wave Modeling
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This manuscript discusses Non-hydrostatic effects in nonlinear dispersive wave modelling. Non- hydrostatic effects have been always an important topic in the ocean dynamic dynamics. The results of this study may help to clarify some non-hydrostatic issues in the wave modelling, and is of great significance in ocean wave studies. I support the acceptance of the manuscript; however, the authors should also correct some minor issues:
- Line 36, change “paid” to “made”
- Line 48, change “for” to “into”
- Line 74, it is better to give definitions of ‘a’ and ‘K’, where they are firstly mentioned, as well as ‘h’ (line 78)
- Equation (1) below Line 117 "∂v/∂x" should be "∂v/∂y"

Reviewer 2 Report
The paper ‘‘The Role of Non-hydrostatic Effects in Nonlinear Dispersive Wave Modeling’’ is carried out surface water modeling using a high-order NHS method. The methodology is well explained how the numerical method of high-order NHS is used in the present study. Overall the paper is in good quality and adds value to other literature studies centered on this subject. The reviewer feels the paper can be substantially improved before being accepted for publications, and therefore suggests the following revisions:
Figure 3 the marker is too small, it’s a bit hard to differentiate which is X marks, and circles or uses bigger size mark to make it clear the difference between two marks
Figure 5 the same issues as Figure 3, it is better to use a larger figure to show the difference among the figure. The font size in the graphs is too small, larger font size can be used as there is no limitation page on this journal
Figure 8 (c) please adds some explanation about why there is a small phase with an analytical solution.
Figure 11 (b) more briefly explains why there is a phase between the analytic solution and QNHS will give more insight to the reader.
Figure 16 does the marks is the same as the previous figure (Figure 15)? Adds some legend/explanation to this figure
• All the Figures are used in the same pattern, it is better to use a larger font size, and markers. It will make easier to differentiate which is an analytic solution, FNHS, and QNHS
