This is a well written manuscript which presents valuable measurements of snowflake fall speeds and I agree with the authors that the proposed parameterization is potentially useful to modelers. I have no major concerns about the methods or analysis and have only minor clarification questions.



1. The MASC is mentioned as being present at the site, but is its data used in the analysis? I don't think it was mentioned in sections 2.2 or 2.3 and my apologies if I missed it. If not used, perhaps say so explicitly or remove mention of this instrument.



2. In equation 2, is pi*a*b the same as the previously defined circumscribed projected area A? If so, it may be useful to draw that connection explicitly.



3. Line 241: I believe the authors meant to refer to Figure 7b rather than 7a.
