Dear Author,

I have received the review comments for your revised manuscript. According to the review comments and my own evaluation, your manuscript of "Toward an open-access of high-frequency lake modelling and statistics data for scientists and practitioners. The case of Swiss Lakes using Simstrat v2.1" might be able to be published in GMD after the minor revision. Please carefully address the comments raised by reviewer #2 shown below.

1. P4, L22: ‘Model parameters are set to standard default values’ Please remove “standard” in the sentence and the use of “default values” is sufficient.
2. P4, L24: Please replace ‘meteo station’ with the commonly used ‘meteorological station’.
3. P4, L27~28: The authors declare the parameter p_albedo ‘is unknown for the individual lakes’. Four of the parameters are also “unknown” and calibrated. “p_albedo” should not be the only parameter addressed as “unknown”. This sentence can be revised or removed.
4. P6, L5~6: Please be more specific about ‘calibration data was not sufficient for 8 lakes in which we used standard settings’. It is not clear about the two words “sufficient” and “standard”.
5. P6, L20~21: ‘For the period 1981- 2015, the trend in solar radiation is 5 W/m2/decade’. Is it descending or ascending trend?
6. P6, L26: ‘compared to other light’. Is it other lake or other light?
7. P6, L31: ‘the inflows Aare and Lütschine’. Is it ‘inflows of Aare and Lütschine’?
8. P7, L6~8: The last sentence in this paragraph said ‘The temporal change in the discharge and its temperature resulting from climate change should therefore be taken into account in predicting the change in lake thermal structure.’ Do the authors try to express ‘predicting future change in lake thermal structure’?
9. P7, L28, L31: Please replace ‘rate of warming’ with the commonly used ‘warming rate’.
10. P7, L29: Is it ‘depends mostly to’ or ‘depends mostly on’?
11. P9, L4: Please replace ‘open sharing’ with ‘openly sharing’.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Topical Editor, Min-Hui Lo
