Dear Dr. Smith,

with the two reviews in I have now not a much clearer picture and after my own reading I think you should
* address the remaining issue of referee #3, which should be easy enough
* expand more on the description of details in your study, as requested by referee #2
To this end, I would ask you to mainly spill out the details of equation 2, which is currently presented as Gleaf = f(some parameters and other functions)-Rplant. As GMD is dedicated to supply all the page space to fully describe models, I concur with referee #2 that a more explicit description of your model is desirable. I see that the Guilbaud et al. 2014 also did not describe the model in more detail and that the equations have been at least partially described elsewhere, but still the detail of model description is insufficient here. You may want to expand the full set of equations in an appendix or in the paper, as you see fit.
Secondly, I would like to see an extra column in table 2 with the pre-defined parameter space used in your study and (if possible) any justification or reference for that.

I think that would make the paper of greater value to the research community.

Best regards

Christoph

Thanks so much for this fast, adequate and comprehensive response.
I still have 2 issues I need to bug you with, which is:
* on page 18 you now state "The diffuse radiation coefficient is assumed to be a constant" -- could you please add the value and units of that constant?
* in table 2 in column "Fixed" the variable fJ has "np", which I suppose should be "no", but please correct/explain as necessary.

Cheers
Christoph
