| Summary: | 1. Equilibrium calculation for nitric acid uptake I agree with the reviewer that the novel concept of trapping deserves a more detailed discussion. In the revised manuscript, I will present both, a critical discussion and results from a more conventional calculation of uptake closer to previous estimates of nitric acid uptake. The results to be shown will be taken from an hypothetical simulation in which I calcu-late gas dissolution into STS particles as before, but do not allow HNO3 to be trapped. Rather, using the ice surface area density A, temperature T, and the remaining partial pressure of HNO3 pn, I compute the amount that would be adsorbed in equilibrium ac- |
