説明
<jats:p>In this study, we analyze the response of the coupled chemistry‐climate system to changes in aerosol emissions in fully coupled atmospheric chemistry‐climate‐slab ocean model simulations; only the direct radiative effect of aerosols and their uptake of chemical species are considered in this study. We show that, at the global scale, a decrease in emissions of the considered aerosols (or their precursors) produces a warmer and moister climate. In addition, the tropospheric burdens of OH and ozone increase when aerosol emissions are decreased. The ozone response is a combination of the impact of reduced heterogeneous uptake of N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>5</jats:sub> and increased ozone loss in a moister atmosphere. Under reduced aerosol emissions, the tropospheric burden of NO<jats:sub>x</jats:sub> (NO + NO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) is strongly reduced by an increase in nitric acid formation but also increased by the reduced N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>5</jats:sub> uptake. Finally, we discuss the significant difference found between the combined impact of all aerosols emissions and the sum of their individual contributions.</jats:p>
