Interactive comment on “Emulating IPCC AR4 atmosphere-ocean and carbon cycle models for projecting global-mean, hemispheric and land/ocean temperatures: MAGICC 6.0” by M. Meinshausen et al

very late, beyond the standard turnaround times for ACP. Nevertheless, we believe that this comprehensive model documentation and application is of considerable interest for future applications of MAGICC, which is why we would like to ask the editors and reviewers to accept our sincere apologies for this lateness. In the course of the two years, the described model parameterisations have been shown to be robust in the multiple model applications that followed our first draft manuscript. Thus, no changes had to be made to the substantive part of the model description.
