New goals for Phase 2: • Analyze impact of different climate and emission scenarios on U.S. air quality (e.g., A1, B1, B2, ACCENT). • Examine impact of 2000-2050 changes in anthropogenic emissions on intercontinental transport to the United States • Investigate how global change will affect mercury deposition in U.S. ecosystems. . • Improve coupling between global and regional climate models.
