I thank the authors for drawing my attention to their paper [Guzman-$peziale and Ni 1996] (hereafter GU96). Regarding the dip of the non-planar WBZ surface, the procedure I followed was the following: I digitized the depth contours of the WBZ given in Figure 2 of Ni et al. [1989] (hereafter NI89) and interpolated the data to get a closer grid. Although there is no unique way of interpolating, I used the minimum curvature method to obtain a smooth
