Ingestion of GNSS-Derived ZTD and PWV for Spatial Interpolation of PM2.5 Concentration in Central and Southern China
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I enjoyed reading through the novel process of data analysis presented in this manuscript. The mathematical rigor of presented here is of good quality. The presentation of the overall content can be improved further for clarity in the message being delivered.
Major comments:
- The abstract can be clearer about where the PM5 data is actually coming from. Not in an elaborate form as mentioned between lines 272-283, but at least mentioning that they came from ground-based stations would be helpful.
- More clarity is expected for the direct message to be delivered across.
- Please closely follow journal formatting guidelines, maintain line-spacing between the body of text and figures, pay attention to the excessive indentation etc. (I suggest getting the manuscript reviewed by a technical editor first).
Minor/technical/editorial comments:
- I suggest getting rid of the numbers in parentheses (i.e., (1), (2), (3), (4), …) in the abstract
- Please maintain consistency in the usage of subscripts in PM5
- Acronyms need to be spelled out on their first use. Several acronyms are either never defined or defined somewhere in the middle of the text where it has already been referred to early on several times (e.g., ZWD).
- Please maintain consistency of the font sizes across all figures.
- Some figures (e.g., Figure 9) has some data points cropped out partially. Please include all data points within figures.
