] In the paper ‘‘Oceanic uptake and the global atmo-spheric acetone budget’’ by C. A. Marandino et al. (Geo-phys. Res. Lett., 32, L15806, doi:10.1029/2005GL023285)it was recently determined that a calculation error was madeduring flux data processing. The flux data has been reproc-essed and all the values in both the text and figures havebeen recomputed. The qualitative discussion and conclu-sions remain the same. After the data was reprocessed, itwas determined that the low frequency correction could bemodified. Instead of eliminating the power at frequencieslower than 5E-3 Hz in all of the records, a low frequencydiagnostic was created to assess whether the record shouldbe retained at all. This diagnostic was the ratio between theflux at the 5E-3 Hz cutoff and the full flux (i.e. no cutoff). Ifthe ratio indicated a difference greater than 30%, the recordwas not included in the final dataset. The entire dataprocessing procedure will be published in the Journal ofGeophysical Research [Marandino et al., 2006].
