Short summary

In this study, simulations of atmospheric ammonia (NH₃) with MOZART-4 and HTAP-v2 are compared with satellite (IASI) and ground-based measurements to understand the spatial and temporal variability of NH₃ over two emission hotspot regions of Asia, the IGP and the NCP. Our simulations indicate that the formation of ammonium aerosols is quicker over the NCP than the IGP, leading to smaller NH₃ columns over the higher NH₃-emitting NCP compared to the IGP region for comparable emissions.
