Reply to Comment on "Spectra of strong magnetohydrodynamic turbulence from high-resolution simulations"

Abstract

In a Comment by Perez et al (2014) it is claimed that recently published simulations of Beresnyak (2014) are grossly underresolved, compared to theirs, and that Beresnyak (2014) failed to estimate numerical error. Both claims are contrary to the fact. Firstly, as far as numerical resolution is concerned, Beresnyak (2014) was using $k_{\rm max}\eta_{41}$=1.06 resolution criterion, while Perez et al has been using $k_{\rm max}\eta_{41}$=0.8. Obviously, $1.06>0.8$. Secondly, Beresnyak (2014) have estimated numerical error and found it to be below $3\times 10^{-3}$, which is properly explained in the paper. On close inspection of the Comment I have not found a single numerical value or parameter pertaining to the criticized paper, Beresnyak (2014), and it is completely unclear how the Authors came to their conclusions.
