Interactive comment on “ Optical particle counter measurement of marine aerosol hygroscopic growth ”

چکیده
The authors make a valiant effort at extracting additional information about the properties of aerosol from measurements with optical particle counters (OPC), in particular the PCASP and the FSSP-300. In the end, the results are convincing and they have done a very nice job of constraining the uncertainties. The style of writing, however, is at times obtuse and difficult to understand. Examples are listed below.

Optical particle counter measurement of marine aerosol hygroscopic growth
A technique is developed for the determination of the hygroscopic growth factor of dry particles with diameter between 0.3 and 0.6μm and is applied to measurements made during the second Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus experiment (DYCOMS-II). Two optical particle counters are utilized, one measures the aerosol size spectrum at ambient relative humidity and the other simultaneousl...

Reviewer #1 This study reports on measurements using single particle cavity ring-down spectroscopy to derive refractive index values as a function of both wavelength (400 – 650 nm) and relative humidity for numerous inorganic solutes of atmospheric relevance. The topic of this paper is of relevance to this journal and it is of important to the research community as information related to refrac...
متن کاملHygroscopic properties of atmospheric aerosol particles over the Eastern Mediterranean: implications for regional direct radiative forcing under clean and polluted conditions
This work examines the effect of direct radiative forcing of aerosols in the eastern Mediterranean troposphere as a function of air mass composition, particle size distribution and hygroscopicity, and relative humidity (RH). During intensive field measurements on the island of Crete, Greece, the hygroscopic properties of atmospheric particles were determined using a Hygroscopicity Tandem Differ...
