| Summary: | Interactive comment on “Aerosol direct radiative effects over the northwest Atlantic, northwest Pacific, and North Indian Oceans: estimates based on in-situ chemical and optical measurements and chemical transport modeling ” by T. S. Bates et al. Anonymous Referee #2 Received and published: 13 March 2006 This paper gives a good summary of the characteristics of aerosols from INDOEX, TRACE-P/ACE-Asia, and ICARTT field campaigns. It also shows that using mea-sured aerosol optical properties in CTMs can help to reduce uncertainties associated with aerosol forcing calculations. The manuscript includes much useful information. It should be accepted after addressing the following minor comments: • Abstract: It should be described clearly that the constrained TOA DCF values of |
