Review of wcd-2021-40

Abstract

The manuscript is well-written, follows a clear narrative and the conclusions are supported by the analysis and literature cited in the paper. I especially appreciate the comprehensive literature review and that the observation-based results are frequently compared to results from modelling studies and vice versa. The study complements existing work in the field and provides added value to the understanding of past extreme events and long-term changes in extreme indicators. It shows that the dynamical adjustment method is a practical and versatile approach that can even be considered for rapid attribution of extreme events.
