  • Anonymous Referee #1
    Anonymous Referee #1 This manuscript is well written. I recommend it be published with a few minor edits. We thank the reviewer for their positive comments and suggestions. Please find below our replies and the related modifications to the manuscript. The page and line numbers refer to the version of the manuscript published on 5 ACPD. Section 2.2: Go into more depth how the footprints and the emissions inventory are combined to obtain atmospheric concentrations of CO. The text below has been added to the section 2.2 (P5, l3): “To do this, first we derive the sensitivities of the measured air masses to emissions occurring within a grid cell 10 (units [gm−3] / [gm−2s−1], i.e. sm−1) and then by multiplying the sensitivities with the emissions from the emission inventories we are able to calculate the modelled CO concentration (dimensionally, sm−1 × gm−2s−1 = gm−3). To convert the concertation to a volume mixing ratio we divide the modelled concentrations by the molar mass, divide again by the air density and multiply by 1 x 109.” Figure 4: Black box referred to in caption is not visible. 15 Figure 4 “black box” – that was a mistake in the caption. Caption for Figure 4 (P5) corrected to say: “Figure 4: The blue box represents the regional contributions from outside Beijing and the red box is the Beijing region.

  • “Assessment of Ripple Effect and Spatial Heterogeneity of Total Losses in the Capital of China After a Great Catastrophe Shocks”
    Responses to the reviewer’s comments on the manuscript “Assessment of ripple effect and spatial heterogeneity of total losses in the capital of China after a great catastrophe shocks” The authors would like to thank the reviewer for your efforts on this manuscript and providing us with insightful 5 comments and suggestions to improve the quality of this manuscript. The following responses have been prepared to address reviewers’ comments in a point-by-point fashion. And the sentences in red are the corresponding revised parts in our revised manuscript. The information of Page/Line in blue refers to the revised manuscript rather than the complete manuscript. We also attach a marked-up manuscript version in the below of the responses. 10 Referee #1 Comments: This paper addresses a very interesting topic: the economic evaluation of the ripple effect and spatial heterogeneity after a catastrophe, with an application to earthquakes in the one of the most developed regions of China. The paper is well innovative and well written. It does a good job analyzing the ripple effect and spatial heterogeneity of total economic losses (especially indirect economic loss) by the established IRRE model. The results that the loss can be 15 spatial extended into each street, and sectors’ losses in each street can be further evaluated are both meaningful and useful. i) Page 3, Line 3. Writing the names of the DEL and IEL in Figure 1 instead of acronyms would make it easier for the readers, especially in the introduction. 20 Response: Thanks for your comments. We have already changed the full names of the direct economic loss and indirect economic loss instead of acronyms “DEL” and “IEL” in Figure 1.

  • Thank You to the Associate Editor and the Reviewers for Your Time with This Manuscript Review
    Thank you to the associate editor and the reviewers for your time with this manuscript review. We have 5 addressed all reviewer responses. Below we respond to each reviewers’ points and note where relevant changes in the manuscript have been made. We have also made some minor edits to the text for clarity. The one large change we made was we added a figure showing VAF:PN (figure 7), similar to the original VAF:POC figure (figure 6) . The track marked manuscript showing all updates follows the response to reviewers’ comments. 10 Response to Reviewer 1 Thank you for your comments, we appreciate your insight and we believe the paper has been strengthened and improved as a result. Below, we detail how we have updated our manuscript to address your comments. Actions taken are underlined 5 Comments on Bourne et al. paper This paper conducts quantitative discussion on the relation between beam attenuation and settling particulate organic carbon / nitrogen / phosphate using Carbon Flux Explorer with time-series particle collector (CFE-Cals). In order to study the biological 10 pump for quantifying CO2 transport to the ocean interior, sediment trap experiment has been conducted all over the world ocean. However, moored or surface-tethered or even neutrally buoyant sediment trap has some specific disadvantages such as trapping efficiency and swimmer effect. In addition, it is hard to say that these “cost-performance” is high (need manpower and “ship time”). Nowadays, application of optical sensors such as transmissometer and backscatter meter to the study of marine particulate materials has been becoming more popular.
