Reviewer 2 Report

This manuscript describes the advanced methods about fatigue analysis of the mooring line for floating offshore wind turbine system. The topic and the analysis results are interesting and useful, but the following modification is required to increase the reliability of the results.

  1. I understand that verification was performed in Figure 4 and 5. However, how should we think about the validation (the comparison between simulation and experiment) ? Does Xu et al. (2021) describe about this issue ? Please add comments about it in Section 5.4.
  2. According to Equation 8, did you use quasi-static mooring line model in your analysis ? Generally, with quasi-static mooring line model, the prediction accuracy of floater displacement is acceptable, but that of mooring force is  low. FEM based dynamic mooring lime model is used to predict the mooring force. And so, I guess the result itself does not show the true value. Please comment about it in the manuscript.
  3. The title of Section 2 and the description about Section 2 in Section 1 ("Section 2 provides a brief review of the nonlinear time-domain hydrodynamic model.") can be improved. Section 2 also includes the mooring line model. "Model description of dynamic analysis" or else is more appropriate.

Reviewer 3 Report

A comprehensive and systematic study - congratulations. Regarding practical applications, have you thought about the effects of your results on specifying mooring-related safety factors for regulatory bodies?

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors have responded to my comments very well. Now the manuscript can be accepted for publication. But, the specific values of drag coefficients Cd,w and Cd,v have NOT been given yet. Please add them.
