Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This study can be interesting to some readers. In the last round review, I provided some comments. However, the authors did not address well or even just ignore them. I do not think this version can be accepted.
- There are still many abbreviations appeared in the text (MCEJ, ACEJ, PSD; SA), which causes distraction for the reader to understand the paper. When I read this paper, I cannot concentrate on reading it.
- I asked this issue as well: They suggest nonmigrating tides and stationary planetary waves to contribute to the observed east-west difference in CEJ. But they did not show any evidence to support this idea. How about the magnetic field line configuration effect to the east-west different in CEJ? There are many studies to report the zonal differences in both large scale (more than 1000 km) and small (100-300 km) scales in the ionosphere. However, this study did NOT cite those references.
-
They just presented what they saw in the plots but without discussing the causes.

Reviewer 2 Report
1) in line 22 what authors mean by EUEL?
2)±3 0 is it degree or what?
3) what does Kp reference in the line 83 , only as I am an experts in the article will be able to understand, and what about the new readers?
4) What does S24 authors are requested to convenience the article in a such a way a new readers can understand easily.
5) why only 2016, 2017, and 2018 are excluded? why not others justify?
6) Results and discussion very well discussed, as a reviewer I don't suggest any changes
7) Lot of abbreviations and nomenclatures authors are requested to make a tabular and accepted after minor revisions
Sincerely
Reviewer
