Table 6.
WRF-Chem simulated BC surface mass concentration (mean, μg m−3) averaged over the four months simulated for the moderate future ENSO case with two different emission scenarios - no further control (NFC) and mitigation (MIT). Also shown in italics is the percentage difference at each site for the MIT case versus NFC, calculated as (MIT-NFC)/NFC×100%. Results for 2013 are shown in Table 4.
