Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Just some minor comments:
1) Line 22: change "acted" to "used"
2) Line 29-30: Temperature trends could be significant while there is no trend in other variables. There is no necessity for the temperature to trigger a trend in other variables. Thus, the use of "too insufficient to" has no relevance. Or, should there be any sufficient T trend to trigger a trend in another other stationary varialbe?
3) Line 189: insert at the end of line "or monthly"
4) Line 344: add the lat-lon coordinates for the PDSI point and revise the sentence to like: "The distribution and trend of the PDSI for the lat-lon point (?,?), representing the regions of SE Banat and ..."
5) Line 363: Should it be TRWI instead of PDSI?
6) Line 410: the numbers are different from what are shown in the figure.
7) Line 426-427: the two are not shown in the same figure, thus it is hard to tell about the overlapping.
