This manuscript provides a detailed description of the valuable hydrometeorological dataset of west Siberian boreal peatland, which is in general interesting to me. But this dataset includes only two sites and the content should be further discussed.

Comments:

Line 39: replace “C” with “Carbon”

Line 42: in the citation, it writes “the area of southern-taiga wetlands is estimated at 12.02 Mha at the total wetland area percentage in the subzone estimated at 28%”, here in this manuscript, “Large peatland systems in Western Siberia occupy about 28% of the area”, are wetland and peatland mean the same thing? Please give a clear description of peatland in the beginning.

Line 44: “Only a few modern hydrometeorological datasets are available for the Northern part of Russia”, in the citation of Bioke et al., 2019, the research study on a high Arctic permafrost site in the Svalbard archipelago, which is a disputed area.

Line 69: “described in (Lamentowicz et al., 2015)”. Please rewrite this part.

Line 71. “described by (Alekseychik et al., 2017)”. Please rewrite this part

Line 208: “South-south-east winds prevail at the observation site.” But according to Fig. 6, south-south-west winds prevail at the observation site.

Figure 1. Please redraw this figure, which should include a large area with local magnification. Map of peatland distribution is also suggested to include.

In the supplement figures, uniform color in one figure is suggested. Figure S20, in the caption “Top panel: 1-hourly observations using rain gauge, 2-ERA5-Land reanalysis data”, and in figure “Mod and Obs”, they don’t match each other.

This paper is a rarity in its completeness and excellence. As a data description paper, it does an outstanding job of describing all aspects of the dataset expertly. The site is described well, the instrumentation is all thoroughly cataloged, the data are available via the links provided, and summary statistics are presented clearly and completely. The scientific conclusions would be insufficient for other research journals, but again, as a data introduction paper, this is an excellent piece. I recommend publication as-is.

We thank anonymous Reviewers for evaluating our manuscript. Below we list our responses to each comment. We have updated Figure 1 (and figures at the Supplementary), and have rewritten text according to a specific reviewer’s comments.

Peatlands (ecosystems with long-term accumulation of organic matter) represent half of the Earth’s wetlands and cover 3% of the global total land area (Wetlands International). West Siberian peatlands are wetlands representing a long-term carbon dioxide sink and global methane source since the early Holocene (Sheng et al., 2004).

Short summary

A hydrological and meteorological dataset collected at the Mukhrino peatland, Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, Russia, over the period of 8 May 2010 to 31 December 2019 is presented. Northern peatlands represent one of the largest carbon pools in the biosphere. The carbon they store is increasingly vulnerable to perturbation. Meteorological observations directly at peatland areas in Siberia are rare, while peatlands are characterized by a specific local climate.
