INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY

First review took two months with four reviewers who unanimously agreed that the paper has publication potential. Reviewer 1 accepted it directly, Reviewers 2 and 3 suggested minor revisions, and Reviewer 4 suggested major revisions regarding paper writing and organization. The editor also suggested major revisions. The reviewers were highly professional and provided a total of 84 comments, ranging from paragraph adjustments to errors in using certain indicators for comparison. Careful modifications were made over two months, and responses were written with over 12,000 words. The second review took 10 days, and the reviewer was quite satisfied with the detailed response and modifications, recommending publication with the need for reference adjustments. The revised version was sent back after one day, and acceptance was received a week later. Reviewer 4 seemed to be a prominent figure in the field, carefully reading the entire paper and providing valuable suggestions to eliminate redundancy and improve logical coherence, greatly enhancing the paper's quality.

Hello, I have also submitted to this journal. After being assigned to an Associate Editor (AE), it has been in the "under review" status for over a month. I heard from my classmates that this journal allows authors to view the review process of the reviewers, but I couldn't find it in the review system. Could you please clarify if the manuscript is still with the AE or has it been sent for external review? Thank you very much!
