First, the original emission rates of SO2 and H2SO4 (3 % of total anthropogenic SO2 emitted) in the model (including emissions, boundary conditions, and initial conditions) were decreased by a factor of 4 compared with the 2005 base case to be consistent with the decrease in measured ambient SO2 concentrations since 2005 (SI Appendix, section 1 and Fig.
