Modelled mean daily surface ozone for the grassland growing season in the UK and USA in 2018
This dataset consists of a vector layer (based on 1 by 1° grid), of modelled surface ozone concentrations (ppb). The values per cell are daily mean surface ozone for the period 6am – 6pm. The seasonal average has been calculated for the grassland growing season, for the period spanning mid-April to mid-July, for the UK and the USA, for 2018.

Provenance & quality
The surface ozone data are an output of the global EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) chemical transport model (version 4.45). The model uses the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model (4.2.2) to calculate hourly 3D meteorological data for the year 2018. The emissions data used as model inputs were based on the IIASA ECLIPSE v6a (Evaluating the Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Short-Lived Pollutants) GAINS (Greenhouse gas – Air pollution Interactions and Synergies) model for the year 2015.
Output data from the EMEP-WRF model go through a process of quality assurance/control before use in subsequent analyses.
