Dear Pavel Alekseychik,
Thank you very much for providing the revised version of the manuscript.
The main criticism was data analysis and gap-filling. The authors reanalyzed the data using appropriate methods that improved the manuscript very much. The other main comment was to add more information on vegetation and its development (LAI in particular). The authors reply that they have provided all the data, which is available. We can consider that description of the vegetation and environmental parameters is adequate in the present version. The other criticism is also taken into account in the revised version sufficiently.
I would like to see a few minor matters clarified:
PAR is measured by a quantum sensor but you give the values usually as W/m2 (but sometimes micromole s-1 m-2). lines 134, 203, 231, 236, Table 1, Fig 8.
You give detailed reference climate data. It would be nice to know, where is the reference climate station located.
In the Figure 10 caption, you mention NEEmod. This is not explained in the text.
Yours Sincerely,
Tuomas Laurila
