FROM THE PEER REVIEWS:
The model used for the study should be further described, a model sketch would be useful. It’s very hard for the reader to understand what was done in the absence of a clear description or details on calculations of the model. Supplementary Table 1 provides only model variables and their description, the model input and output data (and data sources when relevant) should be made available.
AUTHOR RESPONSE: The reviewer has made a valid point. An open-access publication by Rattanavipapong et al (2020) provides a detailed description of the model in a supplementary file. The paper is open-access and therefore this description is publically available. We have referenced this paper in the text between lines 179-180 (page 7) stating that “a full description of the model and how the model outcomes were generated is available elsewhere.”
