The purpose of the recalibration of the two Interplanetary Monitoring Platform 8 (IMP 8) and the International Sun Earth Explorer 3 (ISEE 3) solar wind instruments was to enable these data sets to be used in studies of the effect of solar wind dynamic pressure on the Earth magnetosphere. Paularena and Lazarus (1994) make several claims in their comments which merit comments of our own. Average densities corrections, sources of the descrepancies, newly corrected Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) data and our correction, and alpha particle content of the solar wind are discussed. We applaud the attempts of Paularenz and Lazarus to improve the IMP 8 moment calculations. We urge the authors to test the new data set very carefully and thoroughly before deciding its accuracy.
