Reviewer comments:

This manuscript comprehensively compares the wind field characteristics of two super typhoons, Mangkhut and Hato, aiming to analyze their differences from a wind engineering perspective, including horizontal and vertical wind field structures. It also describes features such as dual eyewalls, gradient winds, and low-level jets for both typhoons. Overall, this is a well-written article, but several areas require modification.

1 The introduction does not clearly articulate the purpose of this study. Given that the authors are not aiming to develop a more accurate typhoon engineering model, it is suggested that the manuscript's introduction be revised to better reflect the study's objectives.
2 The manuscript mentions work related to artificial intelligence; however, it is unclear how these preliminary studies contribute to the current research.
3 Line 241, the discussion of eyewall replacement cycles could be supported by additional references.
4 Line 370, the authors emphasize the role of super-gradient winds in enhancing low-level jets. However, the manuscript lacks a detailed explanation of how super-gradient winds specifically influence the low-level jet characteristics within typhoons. The reviewer suggests further elaboration on this topic.
5 Regarding the impact of super-gradient winds on gradient winds within the typhoon wind field, can the authors locate literature that quantifies this effect?
6 There are issues with some figures, such as Fig. 7(a), where the parameter represented by the y-axis is not labeled; the same issue appears in Fig. 14.
7 The manuscript contains typographical errors (e.g., Line 252 should refer to Typhoon Mangkhut rather than Typhoon Hato) and inconsistencies in font size, such as Lines 215-220 and 365-368.
