Reviewer 2 Report
17 Floating Cladophora Blooms; consider that it is not a very well-known event it is better to remind it within the paper
23 have you forgotten 2020, if not you’d modifiy the dates at line 17
The use of UAV is cited in the abstract and in the Material and Methods. No mention in the abstract. Maybe you should say something about the use of UAV eventually also in sea environment or satellite images for other ends.
112 I shouldn’use double parenthesis: NO (aaa (b)); (bbb) (hhh); (
)
Fig 1 doesn’t show where the lake is. The two lateral images don’t give any contribute
Fig 3 I understand what you mean, but at this scale it difficult to read
Table 2 you should show where these regions are on the map. Profportion?
4.1.1 and 4.2.1 you should explain better and maybe show some pattern evolution or some table with surface changes
4.2 seems smaller than 4.2.1. See hierarchy of chapters: dimension, italic …
Figure 6 it I difficult to understand if we don’t know where the regions are
359 undercomposed
Figure 8 it is difficult to follow
Within the paper I lost UAV
Driving forces could be explained better and with little order more

Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors
Thank you for your detailed answers to my questions. Based on the cover letter and manuscript you provided to me, a few minor revisions are list below：
- For lines 207 and 226 of the manuscript, there is a line break, so please check the manuscript carefully.
- In question 2 of the cover letter, you proposed to add landsat ETM and sentinel-1 SAR image data while using Landsat TM and sentinel-2 MSI, but there is no content about sentinel-1 SAR image data in the manuscript, is it a mistake of the author?
- "Section 3.2.3 Validation" and "Section 5.1 Accuracy and consistency evaluation" are repeated, suggest the author to revise the structure.
Author Response
Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your support and help in our work.
- We have carefully checked for line breaks.
- The application of Sentinel-1 SAR images was an idea we had, but it didn't materialize later. And forgetting to remove it in COVER LETTER is the result of our carelessness. I am sorry!
- Our original idea here was to have a introduction in the Methods section, and to present the results mainly in the discussion section. But this may create an impression of repetition for the reader. We appreciate your comments and have removed "Validation" from the Methods section and moved all descriptions to the Discussion section.
Reviewer 2 Report
The paper can be published in the present form
