Dear Patricia.

Thanks very much for your attention to the reviewer comments and your detailed responses to these. For the most part, the reviewers see the benefit and relevance of this work and have relatively minor comments. All agree that it is an interesting and pertinent topic for publication in HESS. I share that opinion. Based on the reviewer comments, you have very clearly outlined and detailed the necessary adjustments to the manuscript, and I suspect many of these have already been implemented. Given this, I will - once it is submitted by you - send the revised manuscript back to a few of the reviewers, before making a final assessment on the acceptance of the paper.

Best wishes,
Matt

Hello Patricia. Thanks for your fast and thorough response to the reviewers. As noted in my previous correspondence, I will return this to the reviewers for an assessment of your changes and also review the manuscript myself. Once this is completed, I will be in a position to make a final decision on your contribution.

Best wishes,
Matt

Hello Patricia.

After reviewing your revised manuscript myself and with the help of an anonymous reviewer, I am pleased to recommend acceptance of your paper to the Special Issue: Observations and modeling of land surface water and energy exchanges across scales. Our editorial department will be in touch with you shortly to detail the required processing steps towards publication.

Again, thanks for contributing this interesting paper to the HESS Special Issue.

Best wishes,
Matt
