Manuscript
Line 51: Too absolute, since LES are often used to validate lower-order models and, in theory, can still be employed despite their high computational cost.
Line 91: A brief explanation of the sensor systems would enhance the clarity and interpretability of the presented results.
Line 113: Why is it suitable to use an already simplified model and the small-angle approximation in this context?
Line 116: Unit
Line 131: How was vertical mixing quantified? How was the airborne campaign designed to capture measurements at multiple altitudes, or were the data obtained from a different sensor?
Figure 1: Explanation for higher wind speeds on coast?
Line 149: It seems to suggest a comparison regarding data that the SAR is unable to collect.
Line 154: Quantification of agreement?
Figure 3: At what height were the airborne measurements taken? Was it also at hub height?
Line 217: LaTex Citation Error
Line 297: Are the black lines determined analytically or by manual placement?
