Frequently asked questions to AeroCom phase III

Question: Nitrate Experiments: Is it only the anthropogenic emissions that are perturbed? Or are we going to perturb the natural emissions as well (e.g. oceanic NH3 and NOx from lightning, biomass burning)?

Answer: It's only the anthropogenic emissions that are perturbed for NOx and SOx. For NH3, please only increase agriculture emission including domestic animal (i.e. manure) and fertilizer while keeps others unchanged.
