چکیده
The authors thank the anonymous referee 1 for carefully reading this large manuscript and giving valuable comments and excellent suggestions regarding the formation of sodium adducts. A further re-measuring of the mass spectra at high resolution proved his suggestions to be correct. This enabled to identify the exact molecular formulas and tentative structures of the oligomers, and thus clarifying several aspects of our manuscript. The referee criticizes the term "Photooxidation". Of course, we meant oxidation by all ways, and we therefore replace the term "photooxidation" by "oxidation". The referee remarks that, in spite of our detailed investigation of the oligomers

Interactive comment on “Oligomer formation during gas-phase ozonolysis of small alkenes and enol ethers: new evidence for the central role of the Criegee Intermediate as oligomer chain unit” by A. Sadezky et al
The paper describes the identification of oligomers in secondary organic aerosols derived from the ozonolysis of different small alkenes and one enol-ether. Detailed mass spectrometric analysis was used to identify structures or at least the chain carriers of the oligomers. QTOF-MS/MS analyses deliver fragmentation pathways and FT-ICRMS and MS/MS were used to measure the elemental composition o...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Dimer esters in α-pinene secondary organic aerosol: effect of hydroxyl radical, ozone, relative humidity and aerosol acidity” by K. Kristensen et al
dimers from alpha-pinene are formed. This is an actual topic in atmospheric sciences as high-molecular weight products are likely involved in new particle formation under ambient conditions. Unambiguous evidence is provided that high-molecular weight diesters are formed through ozonolysis and not through OH-initiated oxidation of alphapinene, and involve the participation of a stabilized Criege...
متن کاملObservation of the simplest Criegee intermediate CH2OO in the gas-phase ozonolysis of ethylene
Ozonolysis is one of the dominant oxidation pathways for tropospheric alkenes. Although numerous studies have confirmed a 1,3-cycloaddition mechanism that generates a Criegee intermediate (CI) with form R1R2COO, no small CIs have ever been directly observed in the ozonolysis of alkenes because of their high reactivity. We present the first experimental detection of CH2OO in the gas-phase ozonol...
متن کاملEvidence for oligomer formation in clouds: reactions of isoprene oxidation products.
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to investigate product formation in laboratory experiments designed to study secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in clouds. It has been proposed that water soluble aldehydes derived from aromatics and alkenes, including isoprene, oxidize further in cloud droplets forming organic acids and, upon droplet evaporation, SOA. Pyruvic a...
متن کاملSome Notes on Critical Appraisal of Prevalence Studies; Comment on: “The Development of a Critical Appraisal Tool for Use in Systematic Reviews Addressing Questions of Prevalence”
Decisions in healthcare should be based on information obtained according to the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). An increasing number of systematic reviews are published which summarize the results of prevalence studies. Interpretation of the results of these reviews should be accompanied by an appraisal of the methodological quality of the included data and studies. The critical a...
