  • The first integral in eqn. 1 should be multiplied by 1/2.
  • The right hand side of eqn. 2 should be replaced with 4 pi rhow times an integral over droplet radius of r2 gr(r) C(r) dr
  • The term ( g1 g2 qrad ) in eqn. 3 should be subtracted, not added.
  • The right hand side of eqn. C2 should be preceded by a minus sign.

  • In the second complete paragraph on p. 1045, the clear-sky forcing is -3.0 W/m2, not 3.0 W/m2 as stated (note that the logic of of the preceding sentence in the paragraph only makes sense with this sign convention).
  • The Stevens and Bretherton citation in reference 17 was published in 1996, not 1997 as stated.
