The paper presents new and interesting results on the global chemical effects of sprites. It is well written and focused. It addresses relevant scientific questions within the scope of ACP, and deserves to be published. For the final revision, I’d like to ask the authors to take into consideration these points:

Line 132: Please comment on the ratio of LCC-flashes to all flashes. How does your 20% relate to the 1/1000 sprite-to-flash estimate by Arnone et al. (2014)?

Table 1 states ‘SPRI-M … HOx by Malagón-Romero et al (2023)’ Are there HOx production estimates in that paper? If so, please give numbers like for the cases Yamada et al. / Winkler et al.. If not, please correct the reference.

Line 144: As far as I see, that wasn’t an ‘electrodynamic’ model?

Line 154: After ‘single sprite’ add ‘streamer’.

Section 3.2: Please compare your results to the model results of Arnone et al. (2014).

Figure 6 caption: ‘globally averaged’ might be wrong.
