Short summary

Incorporating information on public holidays into anthropogenic sector emissions results in substantial short-term improvement of the chemistry transport model SILAM scores. The largest impact was found for NO_x, which is controlled by the changes in the traffic intensity. Certain improvements were also found for other species, but the signal was weaker than that for NO_x.
