Short summary

ACCMIP simulations were used to study NO_y deposition over East Asia in the future. Both dry and wet NO_y deposition show significant decreases in the 2100s under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 due to large anthropogenic emission reduction. The changes in climate only significantly affect the wet deposition primarily linked to changes in precipitation. Over the coastal seas of China, weaker transport of NO_y from land due to emission reduction infers a larger impact from shipping and lightning emissions.
