Dear authors,

thank you very much for the thorough revision of your manuscript. From a scientific point of view, the manuscript is almost ready for publication in AMT. However, I noticed some formal issues that need to be addressed first:

1) reference list

- please add DOIs to all the entries in your reference list. I understand that some of the references might not have a DOI but all the ones from scientific journals should have one. If there is no DOI but the reference is available online, please add a URL.

- while you are at it: the abbreviated journal names in your reference list do not seem to follow standard rules. E.g. "J Quant Spectrosc Ra" instead of "J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transf.". The copy editor will likely complain about this too.

2) missing sections on data availability and author contributions

According to the AMT "Manuscript preparation guidelines for authors"

https://www.atmospheric-measurement-techniques.net/for_authors/manuscript_preparation.html

all manuscripts should include sections on data availability (required) and author contributions (recommended). I ask you to have another look at the manuscript preparation guidelines and add these missing sections.

- Data sets: Authors are requested to follow our data policy including the deposit of data that correspond to journal articles in reliable data repositories, the assignment of digital object identifiers, and the proper citation of a data set. Authors are required to provide a statement on how their underlying research data can be accessed. This must be placed as the section "Data availability" at the end of the manuscript before the acknowledgements. If the data are not publicly accessible, a detailed explanation of why this is the case is required.

Note: It is fine if your data is only available on request. However, this should be stated explicitly.

- Author contribution: Authors are encouraged to add a section "Author contribution" before the acknowledgements in which the contributions of all co-authors are briefly described. Example: AA and BB designed the experiments and CC carried them out. DD developed the model code and performed the simulations. AA prepared the manuscript with contributions from all co-authors.

Making these changes should not take long.

Kind regards
