Dear Authors
Thank-you again for submitting to Ocean Science. The referee who wanted to see your revised version has now recommended publication. I have a few "technical corrections" for you to consider.
Introduction:
Page 1 lines 21-22. "strongly reduce, or even prevent, the cross-shelf transport". Such statements are common in the literature but I never understand what is the implied comparison. Surely no current would give zero cross-shelf transport. Please also check your similar text in section 3, page 7, 7th line after (9).
Page 2 line 29. I think you want ". . Furthermore, non-linear processes . ." assuming that this sentence is supposed to add to the previous sentence rather than imply that you have already discussed some non-linear process.
Section 5, first two lines. Rather than "below" and "larger", I think it would be better to use expressions "Tp < -0.4" and "Tp > -0.4". Especially "larger" is problematic with negative values.
