The climate impact of ship NO<sub>x</sub> emissions: an improved estimate accounting for plume chemistry

Nitrogen oxide (NO<sub>x</sub>) emissions from maritime shipping produce ozone (O<sub>3</sub>) and hydroxyl radicals (OH), which in turn destroy methane (CH<sub>4</sub>). The balance between this warming (due to O<sub>3</sub>) and cooling (due to CH<...
