Short summary
Nitrate aerosol has become a dominant atmospheric component, surpassing sulfate in aerosol composition. However, its simulation remains challenging due to complex formation processes and regional variability. We use the EMAC model to assess key factors in nitrate predictions. Increasing grid resolution, reducing dinitrogen pentoxide hydrolysis uptake, and refining emissions improve model performance, although seasonal and diurnal discrepancies persist, requiring further refinement.
