Interactive comment on “Vertical profiles of aerosol and black carbon in the Arctic: a seasonal phenomenology along two years
نویسنده
چکیده
This manuscript describes vertical profiles of aerosol number density over Arctic during spring and summer and presents authentic and original scientific material that has relevant implications for atmospheric science (aerosol, clouds, CCN, and others). This study is based on very important aerosol data over Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, although the tethered-balloon-borne aerosol measurements are restricted to the good weather (i.e., clear sky, calm winds etc.). On the whole, the topic of the manuscript is relevant and suitable for the scope of the “ACP”. However, there are several points which require some careful revision and corrections before publication.

Vertical profiles of aerosol and black carbon in the Arctic: a seasonal phenomenology along two years (2011-2012) of field campaign
In this paper we present results from a systematic study of vertical profiles of aerosol number size distribution and black carbon (BC) concentrations conducted in the Arctic, over Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard). The 25 campaign lasted 2 years (2011-2012) and resulted in 200 vertical profiles measured during the spring and summer seasons. In addition, chemical analysis of filter samples, aerosol size di...

متن کاملInteractive comment on “Constraints on aerosol processes in climate models from vertically-resolved aircraft observations of black carbon” by Z. Kipling et al
This manuscript compares vertical profiles of black carbon (BC) mixing ratios from two global models (HadGEM3-UKCA and ECHAM5-HAM2) with aircraft observations. The models are found to over-estimate black carbon mixing ratios, particularly in the upper troposphere and tropics. Results of two additional sensitivity tests related to biomass burning emissions and convective wet scavenging are prese...
