Dear Authors,

Thank you for your comprehensive response to reviewers comments. I encourage you to revise the manuscript accordingly. Both of the reviewers indicated the potential scientific value of this study but recommended major revisions before publication of this manuscript. Therefore I will seek their review again once a revised version of the manuscript has been submitted. The final decision on this manuscript will depend on the recommendation of the reviewers.

Best regards,
Shrad

Dear Authors,

Thank you for submitting the revised version of the manuscript. I was able to receive reviews from two of the original reviewers. Both reviewers agree that this version of the manuscript is improved however both reviewers provide further comments (mostly minor except the comment #4 from the reviewer #1). I agree with the reviewers' comments and would like to see your response and another revision of the manuscript.

I would also suggest you to have the manuscript reviewed/edited by a researcher who is not involved with the study to make sure that you have satisfactorily addressed reviewer #2's comment #1.

Thank you again and I look forward to seeing the revised version of the manuscript.

Best,
Shrad

Dear Authors,

Thank you for submitting a revised version of this manuscript. Both reviewers thought that most of their comments were addressed satisfactorily and that this version of the manuscript is much improved. Both reviewers also recommended publication after minor revision. Your response to their second round of the reviews are satisfactory so I am happy to recommend publication of this manuscript after some minor changes (mostly English related).

My comments are:

(1) P2L26: Suggest adding "of" after suppressing.
(2) P3L9: Suggest "consists in" to "consists of".
(3) P3L22: Please add "of" after account.
(4) P3L23: Please change "firstly" to "first".
(5) P3L23: Please change "spatialized" to "spatial".
(6) P4L14: "The method is detailed by ...". Please specify which method you are referring to.
(7) P7L27: Change "comparison to" to "comparison with".
(8) Tables 2 and 3: In the correlation values you are using "," please use "." to indicate decimal values.
(9) P8L21: Please change "decrease of around 30% of the RMSE" to "decrease of RMSE by around 30%."
(10) P11L6: "However these uncertainties remain very small.." This sentence is repeated twice.
(11) P12L6: Please change "Lamasquère, the precipitations have been sufficient" to "Lamasquère, the precipitation amount was sufficient.
(12) Figure 8: In the plot titles please change "Differences on" to "Differences in".
