Model-predicted gas phase H2SO4 and MSA concentrations (ppb) in the SoCAB at 8:00 h, 12:00 h, 16:00 h, and 20:00 h. (A) H2SO4 concentrations (ppb) with SO2 and H2SO4 emissions representative of 2011–2013. (B) H2SO4 concentrations (ppb) with sulfur fossil fuel emissions, boundary conditions, and initial conditions for SO2 and H2SO4 set to zero. (C) MSA concentrations (ppb) with sulfur fossil fuel emissions, boundary conditions, and initial conditions for SO2 and H2SO4 set to zero. The domain-wide average gas phase MSA concentration is not significantly sensitive to the scenario chosen for sulfur fossil fuel emissions.
