Reviewer 2 Report
This article is good, but need some improvements. Especially the authors are mixing up the method in results. Maybe they can rearrange it. And below are my other comments:
1. Check your language, some are typos
2. Line 202-208: better to not put web address, but the source name only like citation
3. Figure legends cannot be read
4. Many figures are not clear enough to be read
5. No citation in discussion, and for explaining the results, the discussion is too short.

Reviewer 3 Report
Thanks for the possibility to review such an interesting and unique article! The authors put lots of effort to do this research, which is original and unique considering the developed methodology and achieved results.
At the same time, there are a few suggestions to make the article a bit easier to read and make it more attractive to a broader audience.
1. It is suggested to improve the abstract by putting a clear aim of the research. It is very well formulated at the end of the Introduction, but in the abstract, it is very difficult to get an idea, of what is the aim of all those listed steps. In other words, it would make more sense to simply state the aim of the article in the abstract, rather than putting a long sentence of complicated explanation of how it was reached.
2. The given Figure 3 is very hardly readable, it is too small. And also there is no explanation after placing the figure in the text. At least some sentences would add to understanding the purpose of doing so.
3. There are a lot of tables provided in the article, however, they are left without explanation, at least on the main findings or observations gathered from it. Just a few simple sentences on what the table says concerning the ongoing research would add readability to the article and it would make it easier to read it.
The rest, from the reviewer’s point of view, is fine. Congratulations to the authors!
Yours respectfully,
The reviewer
