Grassland Use Intensity Classification Using Intra-Annual Sentinel-1 and -2 Time Series and Environmental Variables

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I really liked reading this research. It is well argued, the main points are clearly presented, and graphical presentations are good. Particularly the box-plot presentations in Figure 5 give a good overview of the variances in the data in that particular case and all presented Tables are nicely collected so they are easy to read. Accuracy levels are good and they are improved by the additional variable integrations. However, there are small corrections need (e.g. on line 410) reference is missing and it’s visible in the current version. These small typos and errors should be corrected but I do not think this good paper requires another review round. The conclusions and discussion raise relevant points for applications and future research tasks. All in all, we’ll done.

Author Response

Dear Guest Editor,

First, we would like to thank you for your consideration of our manuscript entitled "Grassland Use Intensity Classification using Intra-Annual Sentinel-1 and -2 Time Series and Environmental Variables." And we thank you for any comments you made while reading the manuscript. We are correcting the text and the missing reference in lines 410-411.

Reviewer 2 Report

This research on grassland classification with combined S1/S2 data is well designed and presented. I never reviewed a manuscript as ready-to-publish as this one.

Thus I suggest accepting the manuscript as is, except for correcting the citation error in lines 410~411.
