Interactive comment on “The role of dew as a nighttime reservoir and morning source of atmospheric ammonia”

چکیده
This manuscript examines the potential for ammonia accumulation in dew with subsequent release to the atmosphere during surface drying. The authors examine this process using a combination of laboratory and field dew chemistry measurements, measurement of dew amount, and atmospheric measurements of ammonia. The experiment is well designed and the results and conclusions are, for the most part, well supported by the data, which are of high quality. The manuscript is well written and appropriate for Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. I recommend publication subject to treatment of the following comments.

Interactive comment on “The role of dew as a nighttime reservoir and morning source for atmospheric ammonia” by G. R. Wentworth et al
In this manuscript, the authors presented several lines of evidence in supporting their argument that dew is a nighttime reservoir and a morning source for atmospheric ammonia (NH3). They have demonstrated by the laboratory experiments using artificial dew solutions that the release of ammonia from drying dew can be predicted from dew ion composition. Their field measurement results have shown ...

Introduction: The most important goal of modeling is to acquire knowledge about the real system's behavior. Toxic leakage in process and chemical industries is likely to be one of the main causes of working people and residents around these industries. Method: In this study, the ammonia liquid release from storage reservoir in one of the southern refineries was investigated and analyzed usin...
متن کاملThe effects of Oncorhynchus mykiss culture on the limnological conditions of Hanna Reservoir, Isfahan, Iran
This study was conducted at the Hanna Reservoir located in the southwest of Isfahan Province. According to this study, chemical analyses were conducted to evaluate the magnitude and variations of COD, BOD5, O2, NH3+ and NO2-concentrations in the Hanna Reservoir. In the headwaters the magnitude values of BOD5, COD and early morning oxygen minima were quite identical to the recommended optimum le...

متن کاملInteractive comment on “Nighttime observation and chemistry of HOx in the Pearl River Delta and Beijing in summer 2006” by K. D. Lu et al
The authors discuss three different mechanisms that could explain the observations. These include as yet unknown HOx recycling reactions, similar to that used to explain large daytime concentrations of HOx from the same campaigns; a source of HOx from nighttime ozonolysis reactions of highly reactive biogenic VOCs; and transport of radical reservoirs from a layer aloft to the surface. None of t...
