Dear Dr. Barrett,

Per ACP requirements "Before submitting a revised version of their manuscript for publication in ACP, the authors should have answered the referee comments and relevant short comments cumulatively or individually in one or more author comments. The author comments should be structured in a clear and easy-to-follow sequence: (1) comments from referees/public, (2) author's response, and (3) author's changes in manuscript. Regarding author's changes,  a marked-up manuscript version (track changes in Word, latexdiff in LaTeX) converted into a *.pdf must be submitted, uploaded as a supplement to the author comment.

The author's changes need to be explicitly provided in the response to reviewers file for smooth processing of the manuscript.

I will look forward to the revision

Regards
Tim Garrett

Dear Dr. Barrett,

With appreciation to the anonymous referees for their constructive comments about technical aspects of the manuscripts, and the authors for their responses, I am forwarding the paper for publication in ACP. There has been relatively little work looking at altocumulus clouds from any regard, much less the interactions between turbulence, radiation, and microphysics. This study, particularly the nice schematic shown in Fig. 13, should provide a useful guide for further research in the area.

Regards,

Tim Garrett
