Key Messages
• Plume-in-Grid Messages
– Plume-in-grid has a strong influence on near-field EGU contributions
• Decreases localized regions of elevated concentration relative to their surroundings for all pollutants: ozone, PM and N & S deposition
– In the far field
• Increases or decreases small contributions depending on chemistry and meteorology
• Contribution Messages
– Non-EGU anthropogenic emissions are key contributors to interstate contributions, particularly to adjacent/bordering states
• Transport of O3 and PM has large contributions by non-EGU emissions
• N Deposition results show important role of non-EGU emissions
