Response to Referee #2

Abstract

We thank the referee for his constructive and helpful comments.1) Comment on current calculation for quasi-parallel shocks:We will add an example event to demonstrate the identification and calculation of the currents after the application of the curlometer tool. In our study the currents are identified directly by inspection of the curlometer results. The categorization into quasiperpendicular and quasi-parallel shocks follows afterwards. Currents are identified as C1
