Dear Frederik Kratzert and co-authors,

Thank you for posting your responses to the three referees’ reports. The reports are all positive, yet the reviewers made some suggestions/comments that could improve the quality of the manuscript. Reading the paper thoroughly, I have no doubts regarding the novelty of the presented method and its importance for the hydrological community - the paper fits well with the topics covered in HESS and I see no reason for it not to be accepted for publication after addressing the points raised by the referees. I invite you to upload a revised manuscript, incorporating the proposed changes and additions, and making any other modifications where you see fit. Alongside a revised version of your manuscript, please provide a detailed response (“item-by-item”) to each of the referees’ remarks. I look forward to receiving the revised manuscript.

Sincerely,
Nadav Peleg

Dear Frederik Kratzert and co-authors,

Thank you for revising the manuscript and replying to the comments made by the three referees. Re-evaluating the revised manuscript and reading your rebuttal letter, I see no need in sending the text to the referees for further revisions. I am therefore pleased to inform you that your manuscript has now been accepted for publication in HESS.

Thank you for your contribution and best regards,
Nadav
