Interactive comment on “The impact of aged wildfire smoke on atmospheric composition and ozone in the Colorado Front Range in summer 2015” by Jakob Lindaas et al

چکیده
Overall, this is a good example of a case study, with relevance specifically to Colorado air quality and which, more generally, speaks to air quality concerns relevant to the western United States, where wildfires are a substantive air quality issue. In Colorado, there is an active community of regulators at the State and Federal level who have been debating the very issues discussed in this paper for well over a decade. There is an extensive network of monitoring and also substantive photochemical modeling

Interactive comment on “The impact of aged wildfire smoke on atmospheric composition and ozone in the Colorado Front Range in summer 2015” by Jakob Lindaas et al
Lindaas et al. measured the influence of transported biomass burning smoke on atmospheric composition in the Colorado Front Range. Their study included measurements for an impressive range of compounds, including VOCs, reactive nitrogen, and ozone; the field work seems to have been carefully performed. The authors assessed several meteorological variables and determined that they were not the c...

General Comment: This paper describes the effect of wildfire particulate matter on air quality over a large part of Europe in 2003. It uses MODIS daily smoke emission inventory and a simple parameterization of injection altitude to prescribe the wildfire emissions in a meso-scale chemistry transport model. The authors conclude that the wildfire resulted in a significant enhancement of PM10 grou...

[Comment]: However, the authors have not considered the prominent way aerosols impact tropospheric ozone formation via heterogeneous reactions which leads me to question the conclusions of this study. Several studies have highlighted the role of aerosols in modulating ozone via heterogeneous reactions (eg., Liao and Seinfeld, 2005; Ti et al., 2005; Pozzoli et al., 2008; Xu et al., 2012; Lou et ...

2. This study shows a heating rate of +0.003-0.005K/day (Line 434) due to carbonaceous aerosols near the tropopause, and it is only 1 to 2% of total atmospheric heating rate (âĹij0.2 to 0.5 K/day). What is the uncertainness of the atmospheric heating rates at the UTLS? Gettelman et al. (2004, Figure 4) suggests that the uncertainties from different radiative transfer models is on the order of +...
