AR by Michael Sicard on behalf of the Authors (16 Jun 2014) Author's response

ED: Publish subject to technical corrections (22 Jul 2014) by François Dulac

The revision appears satisfying. Only a few technical corrections should be performed before publication, as proposed hereafter:
-p.4, line 1-2: modify to “have been revealed having”.
-P.5, line 20-21: using quotation marks “ ” is not necessary.
-p.8, l.2 : better type "McConnell et al., 2010)".
-p.8, l.13 : “(Aerosol Robotic Network; Holben et al., 1998)”.
-p.10, l.22: you should first introduce PM10 here otherwise it is not clear why you discuss it 2 sentences after : “referenced by Pey et al. (2013) based on surface PM10 measurements.".
-p.10, l.23 : replace “and that" by "so that".
-p.14, l.13 : specify “vertically homogeneously within he dust layer".
-p.17, l.7 : "that no aerosol is present".
-p.24, l.1: remove “in all other cases”.
-p.25, l.3: replace “case” by “scale”.
-p.25, l.19: “produces”.
-p.28, l.7: “et al.” missing in the citation.
-p.33, l.3: “A. Deepak Pub., Hampton, VA, 1991.”
-p.33, l.15: “insert comma between 113 and D14S04.
-Section References, pp. 44-45: It seems to me that the abbreviation “Env.” in journal titles should be replaced by the normalized one “Environ.” (3 occurrences).
-p.33, l.23: for homogeneity, remove the comma between journal and volume.
-p.34, l.2: “Atmos. Res. 23”.
-p.35, l.10: replace “American Meteorological Society” by “J. Atmos. Sci.”.
-p.38, l.4 : "Tucson, AZ".
-p.39, l.4 : "PM10" with a subscript.
-p.41, l. 11: “Tellus 61B, 270-296”.
-p.41: Ref. Papadimas et al., 2012 seems cited as Papadimas et al., 2006 in the text (p.25, line 1, p.26, l.5, and p.27, l.12).
-p.44 : Ref. Saha et al., 2008 (cited p.24, l.21 and p.26, l.2) is missing.
-p.45, l.7 : “,” instead of “:”.
-p.46, l.22: “Aerosol Sci.”.
-p.47, l.10: add a comma before the journal title.
-Fig.2: remind the definition of deltaAE in the y axis legend (or the figure legend) to make the figure self-sufficient, and clarify the legend: “AERONET measurements in Barcelona in a deltaAE vs. Angström exponent plot. Lines are computed for nr = 1.4 and ni = 0.001. The black solid lines”…
-Legend of Fig. 8: specify “aerosol extinction coefficient”.
-Legend of Fig. 11: replace the dot by a comma before “case 7”.
