Review comments for: HYPHOP: a tool for high-altitude, long-range monitoring of hydrogen peroxide and higher organic peroxides in the atmosphere
Hamryszczak et al. detail the performance of the HYPHOP instrument for airborne hydroperoxide measurements. The instrument has already been used in a number of field experiments and a full description in the literature is warranted. This manuscript is a thorough description of the instrument and its performance. Multiple sources of measurement uncertainty are characterized including chemical interference, dynamic flight patterns, cabin temperature, and line pressure changes. I recommend publication after attention to tho following minor comments.
Comments:
The introduction/manuscript is lacking information about the performance of other airborne hydroperoxide measurement techniques. How does HYPHOP performance compare to the best available alternatives?
The HYPHOP background measurements are important for the calibration, but there is no mention of how often these measurements are taken during a typical flight (other than "frequent measurements") or how the background is interpolated.
The performance of this instrument is evaluated in pristine air – a statement on any projected interfering variables in unclean air (ex. urban air, wildfires) would be beneficial.
