Mass mixing ratios of PM2.5 aerosol compounds in BASE (a, i) and changes in meteorological variables (b–g and j–o) and total PM2.5 (h, p) due to ARI from black carbon only (BCARI: BASE-noBCARI), organic aerosols only (OAARI: BASE-noOAARI), sulfate only (SO4ARI: BASE-noSO4ARI), nitrate only (NO3ARI: BASE-noNO3ARI), ammonium only (NH4ARI: BASE-noNH4ARI), sea salt only (SSARI: BASE-noSSARI), dust only (DUSTARI: BASE-noDUSTARI), and all aerosols (ARI: BASE-noARI) for year 2015 over the two regions indicated by the black rectangles in Fig. 2a. Variable “W” is vertical velocity. Shadings for BCARI and ARI represent the range of all 5 simulated years.
