tokens: We thank the referee for their careful reading of this paper and the very useful comments that greatly helped to improve the paper. P.T. and V.P. were funded for this work by the NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator grant NNX15AF50G. P.T. was also supported by contracts 8100002705 and SP02H1701R from Lockheed Martin to SAO, and NASA contract NNM07AB07C to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. B.D.P. was supported by NASA contract NNG09FA40C ( IRIS ). This work has benefited from discussions at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) meetings on “New Diagnostics of Particle Acceleration in Solar Coronal Nanoflares from Chromospheric Observations and Modeling,” and “Heating in the Magnetic Chromosphere,” where topics relevant to this work were discussed with other colleagues. IRIS is a NASA Small Explorer mission developed and operated by LMSAL with mission operations executed at NASA Ames Research center and major contributions to downlink communications funded by ESA and the Norwegian Space Centre. This research has made use of NASA’s Astrophysics Data System and of the SolarSoft package for IDL.
