The manuscript presents results of GOLD retrieved disk temperature (Tdisk) in the middle thermosphere near ~160km. The detailed information of the retrieval is not described, but referenced to a recent already published paper (Evans et al., 2024, https://doi.org/10.1029/2024JA032424), which is fine to me. The manuscript discusses Tdisk uncertainties, solar zenith angle dependence and solar cycle variation, which are important and valuable for the users to understand the data and correctly interpret the data when using the dataset. I do have some comments in the annotated pdf file for the authors to consider when they revise the manuscript.      

This paper summarizes the GOLD multi-band LBH temperature retrieval approach described in a recent paper, briefly discusses recent version 5 improvements of the TDISK product, and compares results to two other approaches for retrieving thermospheric from FUV observations.  The paper argues that the absence of artifacts in new GOLD temperatures, the physical behavior of retrieved temperatures, and the low uncertainties from high signal-to-noise from multi-band retrievals make the GOLD thermospheric temperatures reliable.  The paper provides an overview of retrieved GOLD temperatures and uncertainties during the mission.  Moreover, examples of challenges in an alternate single-band rotational temperature retrieval method and a vibrational band ratio temperature retrieval method indicate that these methods are not yet mature and require further analysis to resolve issues regarding biases and uncertainties compared to GOLD temperature retrievals.

The paper is well-organized and supports the major conclusions with examples, particularly as the intent appears to be to more widely disseminate GOLD temperature products to the community and provide a basic understanding of GOLD temperature behavior and limitations.  This paper is not an exhaustive modeling or statistical study of the GOLD temperature product versus other approaches.  The wording is not as economical as possible and the figures would benefit from minor tweaks.  An attachment details minor suggestions.
