Note. The production/loss columns are gas condensation (HNO3, HCl, NH3, and H2SO4) to interstitial aerosol particles, loss by evaporation from interstitial particles, and net aqueous production (net uptake of these gases to cloud‐droplet‐borne aerosol particles, plus uptake and aqueous oxidation of SO2), and overall net production. Losses from cloud‐droplet‐borne particles are relatively small so are not shown. Single time step production/loss values from the aerosol and aqueous chemistry modules are saved separately to produce these results. Average mixing ratios of HNO3, HCl, NH3, SO2, and H2SO4 gases are 219, 71.1, 19.6, 161, and 0.26 ng kg−1.
