| Abstract | Thank you for the detailed review. It appears there is some confusion about the constraints used in our thermodynamic calculations. We use the total ammonia to sulfate ratio (NHx/S(VI)) as the predictor variable to identify a departure from thermodynamic equilibrium in the observations, not the ammonium to sulfate ratio (which the reviewer refers to as MR). Additionally, our paper does not focus on aerosol pH but on the aerosol neutralization ratio, and the discussion of aerosol pH at the beginning of the paper is only to make the point that the aerosol is acidic even if ammonia is in large excess. As the reviewer points out, this simply comes out of the thermodynamics but we expect that some readers may be confused. We will clarify these issues and provide a |
