Reviewer 2 Report
This paper
looks at mathematical methods to test for bimodality in statistical data sets.
Particularly it can be sued to calculate the Shannon entropy and the KL divergences.
Such distributions arise across numerous fields
are common across a variety of fields and methods to better characterize bimodality will always be usefull.
A nice part of the paper is the authors than applied the method to a real model shich is the Sea Ice tempters showing
the usefulness of the measure. I think the paper will be valuable for data analysis on various systems and as
such could be published.
