Interactive comment on “Ammonia at Blodgett Forest, Sierra Nevada, USA” by M. L. Fischer and D. Littlejohn

چکیده
The study site was not located as stated (Pg 14142, Ln 10) in the west but in the east of Sacramento adjacent to the Sacramento Valley. The predominant wind direction at the study site is from the west and the source area does not include areas with extensive cattle but rather crop production. In fact, the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) where dairy production takes place to a considerable extend is located much further south of BFRS and it is highly unlikely that SJV dairies contribute to the emissions measured at the study site.

Management practices have altered both the structure and function of forests throughout the United States. Some of the most dramatic changes have resulted from fire exclusion, especially in forests that historically experienced relatively frequent, lowto moderateintensity fire regimes. In the Sierra Nevada, fire exclusion is believed to have resulted in widespread vegetation changes, including ...

To better understand the processing of biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) in the pine forests of the US Sierra Nevada, we measured HCHO at Blodgett Research Station using Quantum Cascade Laser Spectroscopy (QCLS) during the Biosphere Effects on Aerosols and Photochemistry Experiment (BEARPEX) of late summer 2007. Four days of the experiment exhibited particularly copious HCHO, with midday peaks between 15–2...
