Dear Andrew,

Thanks for your detailed point-by-point replies to the referees. I am pleased to accept your manuscript for final publication in ACP subject to the following technical corrections:

- change to math mode whenever equations or variables are given, eg. “(1-C)” in line 143, “dA/dLWP” in line 302, “x0.1” in Table 1.
- the variable “C” (cloud cover) should be capitalized consistently, e.g. in the denominator in eq. (2) and in line 309.
- line 191: change “lightly” to “slightly”?
- line 247: correct spelling of “inhomogenaiety”
- lines 416/899: the co-authors Chen and Hazra of Hoose et al, 2010 have been lost again.
- lines 747 and 749: change “effected” to “affected”.

The line numbers refer to the track-changed version.

Corinna
