Short summary
Model simulations were performed with increased HONO emissions from mobile sources that reflect recent measurements at high-traffic urban sites. These higher emissions resulted in increased morning concentrations of HONO and OH. O3 concentrations were only marginally altered. Comparison with observed data shows that HONO morning peak concentrations are better predicted by the model when the higher emissions are utilized in the simulation.
