The manuscript has received two thoughtful and constructive reviews. Both reviewers note the extensive breadth of the analysis and acknowledge that this work in an important and significant contribution to our understanding of changes to stream temperature.

I found that the authors have seriously considered how they propose to address the reviewer comments in their revision. Given that the requested revisions are minor in that they refer to clarification questions, the need for additional comments regarding limitations of the analyses, or the need for further support for some statements, I believe that this paper will not need further review except by the Editor to ensure these revisions are completed.

I now request that the authors incorporate their proposed revisions into the discussion paper for final review.

The authors have done an excellent job in responding to the comments of two reviewers. The manuscript benefited from detailed and highly constructive comments and both reviewers had already noted that this manuscript is a useful contribution to our understanding of stream temperature and discharge changes. The manuscript is now ready to proceed through the final stages of the publication process.
