Interactive comment on “The role of electrical conductivity in radarwave reflection” by

However, I am surprised, and deeply disappointed, by the conclusion of this reviewer that our manuscript is not suitable for publication in The Cryosphere. The Cryosphere, and similar journals like J. Glac., published recently a number of radioglaciology papers, which make the assumption that glacier bed reflectivity depends solely on relative permittivity, and hence water content, and make no mention of the fact that electrical
