We are grateful for the opportunity to expand on the model of the supercritical hyperpycnal flow deposits in the Beilaishi section on the Lingshan Island, and to explain why the model proposed by Tan Mingxuan et al. （2017） cannot explain the bulk of the deposits in the Beilaishi section. We do not dispute that the recognition of supercritical flow deposits remains ambiguous （Ono and Plink-Bjorklund, 2017）. To some extent, the morphology of deep-water supercritical flow deposits is similar to hummocky and swaley cross- stratification （Ono and Plink-Bjorklund, 2017）. Besides, distinguishing the deposits laid down by gravity flows in deep-water systems from those produced by storm-related combined flows in continental shelf systems is not an easy task （Ono and Plink-Bjorklund, 2017）. However, a correct interpretation is crucial for understanding the paleogeographic and depositional model.展开更多

We fully understand the experts＇ concerns on the feasibility of the proposed idea of building windbreak walls equipped with solar panels to mitigate the yellow dust storm. As stated in the manuscript, we have not considered many important factors, such as the limits posed by solar panels, operability of solar panels under harsh conditions, the local weather and geomorphological conditions, electricity storage and transportation, financial aspects, etc. However, the manuscript is intended to present a Big Idea to stimulate more interesting ideas to solve Big Problems.展开更多
