a Map of the WRF-Chem simulation domain over north-eastern Australia and the Coral Sea, showing total NOx emissions from shipping, post-FSC05 regulation, during the 18–28 February 2022 simulation period. Yellow markers show major Queensland cities: Cairns (pentagon), Townsville (triangle), Gladstone (diamond), and Brisbane (circle). The extent of the GBR World Heritage Area is indicated by the shaded red region. b The proportion, by mass, of all pollutants emitted by ships during the simulation period, in the pre-FSC05 scenario. c Same as b but for the post-FSC05 scenario.
