چکیده
We thank the reviewers for their comments. We have made changes to the text to address these comments. In particular, we have reorganized Sections 4.2 (Effect of oxidation rate) and 4.3 (General mechanisms of SOA formation) to further clarify the rate effect and the multiple steps in SOA formation. All changes made are minor, and they do not change the conclusion of the manuscript. Responses to specific comments are given below.

Interactive comment on “Global modeling of secondary organic aerosol formation from aromatic hydrocarbons: high- vs low-yield pathways” by D. K. Henze et al
The study by Henze et al. ”Global modeling of secondary organic aerosol formation from aromatic hydrocarbons: Highvs low-yield pathways” investigates the global relevance of recent simulation chamber results that parameterize the NOx dependence of SOA yields from benzene, toluene and m-xylene, by Ng et al. (2007). The paper is generally well written, and presents the results on the NOx dependen...

متن کاملSecondary organic aerosol formation from m-xylene, toluene, and benzene
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of m-xylene, toluene, and benzene is investigated in the Caltech environmental chambers. Experiments are performed under two limiting NOx conditions; under high-NOx conditions the peroxy radicals (RO2) react only with NO, while under low-NOx conditions they react only with HO2. For all three aromatics studied (m-xylene, toluene, ...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Secondary organic aerosol formation from m-xylene, toluene, and benzene” by N. L. Ng et al
Over the past two decades, laboratory smog chamber studies have been carried out to develop the information needed to construct SOA chemistry models for atmospherically relevant aromatic hydrocarbons. For each SOA precursor, the aromatic hydrocarbon is irradiated in the presence of NOX for a series of reactant concentrations. The amounts of SOA produced and hydrocarbon reacted at the end point ...
متن کاملA novel method to quantify the emission and conversion of VOCs in the smoking of electronic cigarettes
An analytical technique was developed for the quantitation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in three different forms of electronic cigarette (EC): solution, vapor, and aerosol. Through the application of the mass change tracking (MCT) approach, the consumed amount of the solution was measured to track the conversion of targets between the different phases. The concentration of aerosol plus v...
