Dear Authors,
Thank you for providing responses to reviewer’s comments.
On the basis of the reviews and your responses, I invite you to submit a revision after considering all comments carefully and providing details on at least the changes of seasonal variables. Detailed comparisons with in-situ data are most critical and explanations are also needed if certain variables are not addressed.
Best wishes

Dear Authors,

Thanks a lot for your revision that has greatly improved the quality of the manuscript and answered the questions of the reviewers.

Two reviewers have evaluated this revision and made some suggestions for further improving the manuscript:

Reviewer #2 suggested:
1. It is understood that there were no fully-temporally-matched third-party satellite data (e.g. ET) to the study period. It is still feasible to compare the ET datasets for the past decade, for Turkey. The detailed evaluation of global terrestrial ET datasets is not necessary detailed for Turkey as well.
2. For runoff, there is no independent data used for discussion.

Reviewer # 1 suggested:
Before its publication, an editorial checking for grammar and sentence structure should be provided.

With respect to the ET data set, there is the work by Chen et al., 2014, ACP, that has generated a global monthly ET dataset. I suggest that you refer to this work in your discussion.
Chen, X., Su, Z., Ma, Y., Liu, S., Yu, Q. and Xu, Z. (2014) Development of a 10 year : 2001 - 2010 : 0.1 dataset of land - surface energy balance for mainland China. In: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 14 (2014)23 pp. 13,097-13,117

Otherwise, I am happy to accept your manuscript after some minor modifications.

Best wishes
