Interactive comment on “ Role of oceanic ozone deposition in explaining short-term variability of Arctic surface ozone ” by

In general, the paper is well presented, well written with a sound and detailed introduction, and with appropriate figures and tables. However, at first sight, results seem to be on a low side for Vd-O3 compared to other results found in the past literature (over the past 20 years or so). Moreover, with relatively little spatiotemporal variation in the High Arctic, for dry deposition velocity (0.012 ±0.002 cm/s), the authors nevertheless claim a greater sensitivity of Vd with respect to environmental factors with COAREG vs DEFAULT. DEFAULT uses a constant for rs and no variability of surface resistance is allowed. The variability depends only on the aerodynamic and Rb resistances for
