چکیده
We want to thank both reviewers for evaluating our manuscript and for their questions and comments. We have altered the manuscript accordingly. Most important changes are the addition of a brief comparison of model results with in situ measurements of CDNC and organic matter, an explanation of our assumption that the organic mass and DMS are emitted with similar distribution and seasonality. We will answer the questions of the reviewers and outline the changes made in the manuscript in detail below.

A GCM study of organic matter in marine aerosol and its potential contribution to cloud drop activation
With the global aerosol-climate model ECHAM5HAM we investigate the potential influence of organic aerosol originating from the ocean on aerosol mass and chemical composition and the droplet concentration and size of marine clouds. We present sensitivity simulations in which the uptake of organic matter in the marine aerosol is prescribed for each aerosol mode with varying organic mass and mixin...

متن کاملCCN Properties of Organic Aerosol Collected Below and within Marine Stratocumulus Clouds near Monterey, California
The composition of aerosol from cloud droplets differs from that below cloud. Its implications for the Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) activity are the focus of this study. Water-soluble organic matter from below cloud, and cloud droplet residuals off the coast of Monterey, California were collected; offline chemical composition, CCN activity and surface tension measurements coupled with Köhler...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Contribution of dissolved organic matter to submicron water-soluble organic aerosols in the marine boundary layer over the eastern equatorial Pacific” by Y. Miyazaki et al
This paper is an essential contribution to marine aerosol research field as it reports on the state-of-the-art aerosol measurements in the under-researched oceanic region and I am looking forward to it being published. Ship-born campaigns are absolutely critical in areas where research infrastructures simply do not exist or hardly accessible and are superior to short-lasting airborne measuremen...
