Subject: Paper for special issue?
Dear Drs. X
We noticed your special issue in Water, and we have a manuscript under preparation titled “Spatiotemporal distribution of drought based on the standardized precipitation index and cloud models in the Haihe Plain, China” that we think would be a good fit for this special issue. I have attached a pdf with a list of authors and a tentative abstract.
We have the manuscript largely completed, but we wanted to get your feedback that you would welcome this submission before finalizing the text.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
X

Hi Xudong,
I have given a preliminary review of the revised manuscript. I think the major changes have been sufficient. I appreciate the improvements in the figures, the revised references, and the other major changes. While there are some remaining grammatical and editorial changes, I think they are relatively minor. I will send an email in the next few days detailing these.
In the meantime, I will contact the guest editors of the special issue in Water and see how receptive they are to this article. As such, you will be CCd on this email. We will assess our approach based on their response.

Dear Dr. Zhang, Reviewers’ comments on your work have now been received. You will see that they are advising against publication of your work. Therefore I must reject the manuscript as is but I encourage you to resubmit the manuscript. The reviewers’ comments can be found at the end of this email or can be accessed in the Editorial Manager website. Your username is: zxxddd If you forgot your password, you can click the ‘Send Login Details’ link on the EM Login page at https://www.editorialmanager.com/paag/ Thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your work. Yours sincerely Zaitao Pan, Ph. D. Atmospheric and Ocean SciencesEditorPure and Applied Geophysics COMMENTS FOR THE AUTHOR: Reviewer #1: After the first round of revision, this manuscript has gained some improvement but problem is still serious. I cannot recommend ‘accept’ at the current stage. Since too many errors still exist and the manuscript is far from the shape for publication, I did not check the manuscript word by word. An annotated pdf is attached to show some minor suggestions. Major problems are as follows:1.Please pay carefulness to your work. Numerous mistakes still exist in the manuscript, including English errors, expression errors, logic errors, and style problem. Just in the abstract, more than 10 errors are found.2.Make the introduction as brief as possible, delete irrelevant statements, focus on existing problems, motivation, what to be achieved, and the meaning of achieving this.3.It is not seven timescales. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are of the same time scale, i.e, the seasonal scale. 4.Please state clearly the scientific merit of your study in the introduction and conclusion.5.English should be greatly improved. I cannot believe this manuscript has been revised by an English professionals. Editor’s comments: Aside from what the reviewer pointed out, the work seems too similar to other studies, including lengthy description of some common statistical tools. If you decide to resubmit, please focus more on the physical explanations of why the temporal-spatial variabilities occur.
