Page 1053, Lines 13-14: Dry spells showed lengthening trends in several grids over southwestern Finland, while wet spells lengthened in some areas over the entire country except southern parts. 3 RESULTS 3.1 Country scale assessment Page 1059, 1st paragraph, Lines 2-9: According to CWD and CDD defined in Table 1, the longest wet and dry spells were about 27 and 47 days in 1974 and 1978, respectively. The CWD was most significantly associated with the POL pattern (ρ=−0.33), and the CDD with the SCA pattern (ρ=0.34). The EA/WR pattern was also a significantly influential ACP for variations in the CWD (ρ=−0.27) and CDD (ρ=0.31) indices (Table 3). 3.2 Spatial analysis Page 1059, 2nd paragraph, Lines 13-17: The longest wet spells (CWD) ranging 9.9-10.8 (days) were mostly seen over the east of central and eastern Finland (Fig. 4(d)). Apparently, the longest dry spells (CDD) ranging 24.5-26.7 (days) were observed over the south, west and north of Finland (Fig. 4(e)). Page 1060, 1st paragraph, Lines 3-6: Besides, significant increases were seen in CWD across eastern, western and northern Finland (Fig. 6d) and in CDD over small areas of southwestern parts (Fig. 6(e)). Page 1060, 2nd paragraph, Lines 28-32: CWD showed the strongest correlations with the EA/WR and the POL patterns in some grids scattered over Finland (Fig. 8(d)), and CDD with the SCA pattern over most parts of the country (Fig. 8(e)). 4 DISCUSSION Page 1061, 2nd paragraph, Lines 13-21: Similarly, comparing differences in probability of various wet and dry periods (1-17 days) estimated based on empirical histogram and FTGD, the present study suggests longer (shorter) 1-5 days wet (dry) periods on national scale of Finland due to more wet (less dry) days (Fig. 9(a)). Similar changes were identified by this study in prolonged wet and dry periods, with the 90th percentiles of about 5 and 7 days, respectively, over different parts of Finland (Fig. 9(b)). 91 Page 1062, 1st paragraph, Lines 1-4: However, the present study found that the longest wet (dry) periods generally shortened (prolonged) in Finland over time (Fig. 9(c)). Hence, changes in wet and dry periods are necessarily not independent, and opposite tendencies suggest longer (shorter) wet periods at the expense of shorter (longer) dry periods. 5 CONCLUSIONS Page 1063, Conclusion 2, Lines 5-8: On average, wet spells were longer over the eastern part of Finland, and dry spells were longer over the western part. Page 1063 (Conclusion 3, Line 7) to Page 1064 (Line 2): Lengthening trends in dry spell were identified at several grids scattered in the southwest of Finland, while lengthening in wet spell was found over some areas in the north, centre, west and east of the country. Page 1064, Conclusion 4, Lines 9-11: Dry spells showed significant relationships with the SCA pattern in Finland, while wet spells were mainly associated with the EA/WR pattern.
