Interactive comment on “Examining the atmospheric radiative and snow-darkening effects of black carbon and dust across the Rocky Mountains of the United States using WRF-Chem” by Stefan Rahimi et al. Stefan Rahimi et al. stormchasegenie@gmail.com Received and published: 19 June 2020 ¡ n¡ n¡ n¡ n¡ n¡ nResponses to reviewer RC1 We thank the reviewer for their helpful and insightful comments. We have done our best to address each concern. Major (minor) comments are in yellow (green), and responses follow. The authors present a modeling study on the impact of black car- bon (BC) and dust on the regional climate of the Rocky Mountains. Using WRF-Chem they examined the radiative impact of BC and dust in the atmosphere and the impact C1
