Reply to Reviewer 2 The article: «Influence of nanoparticles and metal vapors on the color of laboratory and atmospheric discharges» Authors: Victor Tarasenko, Nikita Vinogradov, Dmitry Beloplotov, Alexander Burachenko, Mikhail Lomaev, and Dmitry Sorokin Submission Date: 14 December 2021 Date of this review: 19 Jan 2022 07:18:39 Comments and Suggestions for Authors 1.
