Davydenko and Mareev [2014] question some considerations that were made in order to model and quantify the contribution of lightning discharges to the Global Electric Circuit (GEC), and the application of the model to the worldwide lightning activity as presented byMallios and Pasko [2012]. In this reply we address their points believing that the reply along with the comment will contribute to a better understanding of the studied problem.
