Response to reply to comment Response to 'Reply to Comment on: "Rainfall, fog and throughfall dynamics in a subtropical ridge top cloud forest, National Park of Garajonay (La Gomera, Canary Islands, Spain) by G. García-Santos and L.A. Bruijnzeel"'

We respond to the reply by García-Santos and Bruijnzeel (2013) (referred to henceforth as GB2013) to our previous comment (Ritter and Regalado, 2013; hereafter RR2013) of García-Santos and Bruijnzeel (2011) (denoted as GB2011). We provide additional arguments that support that our earlier comments were pertinent and point towards the misinterpretation of fog water estimates, erroneous rainfall estimates, and large data dispersion as the main reasons invalidating most of their results.
