Executive editor
This is highly relevant research on a topic that has great socio-economic impact. The research uses state-of-the-art observational networks and drought simulation, which could inspire similar efforts in other European countries.

Short summary
In this paper, we deliver an evaluation of the second generation operational German drought monitor (https://www.ufz.de/duerremonitor) with a state-of-the-art compilation of observed soil moisture data from 40 locations and four different measurement methods in Germany. We show that the expressed stakeholder needs for higher resolution drought information at the one-kilometer scale can be met and that the agreement of simulated and observed soil moisture dynamics can be moderately improved.
