Interactive comment on “Modelling the radiative effects of smoke aerosols on carbon fluxes in Amazon” by Demerval S. Moreira et al

AR: The coupling is considered two-way in the sense that, for each model time step, the atmospheric component provides to JULES the current near-surface wind speed, air temperature, pressure, condensed water and downward radiation fluxes, as well as water vapor and trace gas (e.g carbon dioxide and monoxide, methane, and volatile organic compounds) mixing ratios. After its processing, JULES advances its state variables over the time step and feeds back the atmospheric component with the sensible and latent heat and momentum surface fluxes, upward shortwave and longwave radiation fluxes, and a set of trace gas fluxes . Further details on the JULES x BRAMS coupling is described in Moreira et al., 2013, nevertheless we included a sentence about it in the current manuscript.
