  • 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.
  • The increase in absorption optical depth referred to in the Table 1 footnote is 0.02, not 0.2 as stated. (The correct absorption optical depth corresponds to 10% of the total aerosol optical depth of 0.2 for the INDOEX 1998 haze, consistent with a single-scattering albedo of about 0.9.)

  • The geometric standard deviation used for the dry aerosol size distribution was 1.5 not 1.2 as stated.
