Dear authors,

thank you for the revised paper. The same two reviewers have looked at the manuscript again and are mostly happy with your changes. There are some minor questions by reviewer #1, and I have a few language edits. In addition, there is quite a bit of discussion material in the results (e.g., the contextualization of measured parameter values with literature values for alluvial rivers, small notes on the efficacy of the methods). I'd appreciate if you could clean this up a little. This should not be too mcuh work, the relevant comments can be moved into the dicussion without large changes.

Thanks a lot and all the best wishes,
Jens Turowski

Dear authors,
thank you for the revised paper. I have identified two further small edits, but otherwise the paper can be published. I decide on technical corrections, so the manuscript is passed on directly to production once you upload the corrected version.

Thanks and stay healthy,
all the best, Jens Turowski

1.15 grammar: something missing here, maybe ‘…which is in spite…’?
12.13 parentheses should include ‘below’, i.e., (Eq. 4 below)

Dear Roberto and Gary,

Thank you for working with AE Jens Turowski and his referees to advance this manuscript so quickly. Please do make the two small technical corrections as per his request.

Your manuscript will be transferred to the Copernicus publishers. Your prompt replies to their instructions and requests will help minimize the time to publication. Some delays may occur due to the current working conditions.
