Major revisions required, including editing for language and a response to editor comments. See the attached file for a partially-edited manuscript showing examples of language edits.

See attached marked-up manuscript.

Thank you for making those revisions. I think the text is now in acceptable shape for the most part.

Here are my (hopefully) last round of requested edits:

*** Most importantly, the font (words or numbers of both) on your figures is still too small in many places. Figs 1, 2, 9, 10, 13, A.1, A.2 all clearly need to be fixed, though almost all your color map axis/colorscale values probably need to be larger. I've requested this before and you didn't really fix the problem. Please fix all of these to be suitably readable. ***

In addition:

1. Please state clearly that simulated drop concentrations are much larger than observed (possibly at the top of p. 10). This is an important caveat, and also something that readers would wonder if they examine Fig. 6b.

2. The lines, colors and dashes are not consistent in Figs. 2 to 5. For example, you have 3 sets of curves in Fig. 2 with colors black, purple and green. In Fig. 3 your 3 colors are black, red and blue. In Fig 2, obs vs model are solid vs dashed while colors are for different altitudes. But in Fig 3 this is opposite, with obs vs model are different colors, while solid vs dashed is for different altitudes. Make your curves consistent across all these line figures.

3. Fig. 9c seems to have a different color bar than all the other colormap figures. Make it the same.

4. Go through your references and carefully edit it for errors. For example the Porson and Price citations both have “i” or “ii” where it should be “I” or “II”. Lafore citation uses “Vol” where it should be boldface.

5. All your references use the full name of the journal. Change every one to the proper abbreviated version, so ACP = Atmos. Chem. Phys. instead of fully spelled out.
