abstract = {Abundance-based model evaluations with observations provide
critical tests for the simulated mean state in models of
intercontinental pollution transport, and under certain
conditions may also offer constraints on model responses to
emission changes. We compile multiyear measurements of
peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN) available from five mountaintop
sites and apply them in a proof-of-concept approach that
exploits an ensemble of global chemical transport models
(HTAP1) to identify an observational emergent constraint. In
April, when the signal from anthropogenic emissions on PAN
is strongest, simulated PAN at northern midlatitude
mountaintops correlates strongly with PAN source–receptor
relationships (the response to $20\%$ reductions in
precursor emissions within northern midlatitude continents;
hereafter, SRRs). This finding implies that PAN measurements
can provide constraints on PAN SRRs by limiting the SRR
range to that spanned by the subset of models simulating PAN
within the observed range. In some cases, regional
anthropogenic volatile organic compound (AVOC) emissions,
tracers of transport from different source regions, and SRRs
for ozone also correlate with PAN SRRs. Given the large
observed interannual variability in the limited available
datasets, establishing strong constraints will require
matching meteorology in the models to the PAN measurements.
Application of this evaluation approach to the
chemistry–climate models used to project changes in
atmospheric composition will require routine, long-term
mountaintop PAN measurements to discern both the
climatological SRR signal and its interannual variability.},
