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

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.
