In this Response we define the sublayers of the water/vapor interface for clarity. We point out that the experimental evidence for surface enhancement of hydronium but not hydroxide is consistent across a broad concentration range and discuss the limitations of the molecular dynamics simulation at pH = 7 while noting that the computational results are only weakly dependent on concentration.
