Reply on “Implications of surface wave data measurement uncertainty on seismic ground response analysis”

We are thankful to Comina and Foti [1] (‘The Discussers’), who showed their interest in our research and raised some issues on our paper on the “Implications of surface wave data measurement uncertainty on seismic ground response analysis”. Their main concerns [1] are on the selection criteria that we adopted to select the equivalent profiles, requirement of multimodal inversion and the seismic response of those equivalent profiles. We have prepared here a detailed explanation on all the raised issues and it is shown that the variations in spectral parameters are not merely due to the so-called discrepancies raised by ‘The Discussers’.
