Dear authors,
both reviews are very critical about the quality of the article, however, they suggest major revisons.
Please follow the suggestions in your revised manuscript.
After you uploaded the new version, I will send it our for a second review.
cheers Alfred

Short summary

A monitoring campaign was conducted in Augsburg to determine a suitable noise reduction algorithm for the MA200 Aethalometer. Results showed that centred moving average (CMA) post-processing effectively removed spurious negative concentrations without major bias and reliably highlighted effects from local sources, effectively increasing spatio-temporal resolution in mobile measurements. Evaluation of each method on peak sample reduction and background correction further supports the reliability.
