A Spectral Library Study of Mixtures of Common Lunar Minerals and Glass

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I would recommend to publish this paper as it stands.

Minor comments:

1. Please, specify illumination and viewing geometry for the reflectance ( say in Fig.1).

2. Line 110, remove comma

3. Please, derive Eq. (14) in the paper.

4. Line 150, The-->the

5. Lines 210-216: do not use abbreviations.

6. Line 351, closer-->close

Reviewer 2 Report

Interesting and comprehensive study of a novel spectral analysis of lunar samples. Improvements and clarifications could be made for some explanations and references, as mentioned in attached feedback comments. There was also no Discussions Section and the Conclusions are very brief with no mention of limitations or possible improvements in relevant lunar sensing approaches.

Reviewer 3 Report

     You present an entertaining manuscript idea for remote sensing purposes aimed at reflectance spectroscopy.

a) Overall, the document needs a revision of the English grammar. Some sentences are confusing and meaningless.

b)Your data and spectral library require a validation test. Try to apply a worldwide used automated software (The Spectral Geologist or Spectragryph) for comparison.

c) The discussion and conclusions are shallow and poorly addressed. Try to expand.
