The Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) provides data beginning in 1980 and runs a few weeks behind real time. Alongside the meteorological data assimilation using a modern satellite database, MERRA-2 includes an interactive analysis of aerosols that feed back into the circulation, uses NASA’s observations of stratospheric ozone and temperature (when available), and takes steps towards representing cryogenic processes. The source BCSMass data was missing values for September 2020, so the corresponding data derived is also no present. https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/reanalysis/MERRA-2/ This data was downloaded using the R package MERRAbin, and in particular the R function getMERRADataBox The following variables from tavg1_2d_aer_Nx (M2T1NXAER): Aerosol Diagnostics (https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/pubs/docs/Bosilovich785.pdf) were downloaded: And stored in \data_provided
daily PM2.5 was estimated using the following equation: (DUSMASS25 + SSSMASS25 + BCSMASS + 1.4OCSMASS + 1.375SO4SMASS)*1e9 ref: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1352231015305136?via%3Dihub And stored in \data_derived |
