I thank the referees for their thorough reviews, and I thank the authors for their responses. Referee #2 raises some important issues, suggesting to change the focus of the paper towards a deeper analysis of gravity waves and tides. I agree that such an analysis is desirable based on the dataset presented by the authors, possibly involving additional data from the same campaign, and providing a larger perspective towards earlier studies under different atmospheric conditions. However, for the current manuscript, I find the authors' intention acceptable to focus on the presentation and intercomparison of three complementary temperature datasets obtained with very different techniques. This fits well into the current joint Special Issue of ACP and AMT, although one may argue that a submission to AMT should have been considered from the start. A second paper on a deeper dynamical analysis has been submitted by Strelnikov et al. and can be regarded as a natural continuation of the current work.
