Reviewer 1 Report
Check the attached file and the following
1. Line 326: You have written "as recalled in ". As recalled what? I think you've missed out something here. 2. In the caption of the last figure of the paper (line 495), how have written "Figure 1". It must be figure 10. 3. In line 477, you have written "figure 1" in the in text citation. It should be figure 10? If it is actually figure 1, then the citation for the figure is too far away from where the figure 1 is present in the paper.Comments for author File: Comments.pdf

Reviewer 2 Report
Very good work, describing the results of processing in Situ Observations of the wake behind two Wind-Turbines with the Un-manned Aerial Vehicle BOREAL. The UAV’s flight patterns consisted of horizontal racetracks at alternating orientations at different distances from the wind turbines, thus producing horizontal wind speed fields. The wind speed reduction area in the turbine’s wake is visualized in this way.
The authors should improve their manuscript by addressing the following issues:
Line 31 Insert Citation.
Line 33 Insert Citation.
Line 243 Insert Citation for IMU.
Lines 366-367 improve syntax to become readable
Lines 135, 361, 362 and elsewhere: please correct “Error! Reference source not found” instances.
Line 236 please give engine power and rev per minute.
The authors should insert a new Figure with a side view of the turbines, where the two heights 90 and 110 m agl of the measurements would become clearly visible, as well as the turbine blade diameters, to allow for a clear view of the test sections.
The variability of wind speed during each experiment should be discussed, as well as how it affects the accuracy of the mapping.
