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.

This paper studies a new coordination game, the Language Game, of a large but finite population. The population is partitioned into two groups of identical agents. Each player shares a common two-action strategy set and interacts pairwise with everyone else. Both symmetric profiles are pareto-efficient strict equilibria, but the groups rank them differently. The profile where successful coordin...

Since its creation in the aftermath of the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, UNEP has played a crucial role in the development and implementation of environmental law. UNEP’s mandate in this field emanates from UN General Assembly resolution 2997 (XXVII) and subsequent General Assembly resolutions and decisions of the UNEP Governing Council. During the 1970s, UNEP’s manda...

 L. 4-5 p.9995: To be precise, in [Deshler et al., 2003, cited in the paper], the authors mention the value of 150 nm as smallest particle size measured by optical particle counters (OPC) at Laramie. However, these authors also measure condensation nuclei (radius ≤ 0.01 μm) by growing particle with sizes down to 0.01 μm in the sample stream.  L. 5-6 p.9995: “sensitive to nature of the particl...
