The authors have made necessary changes and modifications based on the two reviewers' comments. Both reviewers' comments are minor comments and the authors have replied accordingly. I recommend the manuscript be accepted with one technical revision as follows:

The usage of "mean annual air temperature" and "annual mean air temperature" are very confusing. I ask the authors to make change as follows:

Change "mean annual air temperature" as "long-term mean annual air temperature". The authors can keep the other usage as is.

Otherwise, the paper should be accepted for publication.
