Recently reviewed results of studies on the water vapor related continuum in the range of "terahertz gap" are compared with the current version of the MT_CKD model (v.3.5) instead of version 3.2, which was outdated at the time of submission. The MT_CKD-3.5 model reproduces the available experimental data in the range of 3.5-700 cm-1 much better than its previous versions.
