Acknowledgements required (third-party datasets used to drive the model): The Weather and Research Forecast (WRF) model derived meteorology has been used to drive the EMEP4UK model. The fifth-generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate (ERA5) was used as initial and boundary conditions, and to nudge the WRF model.

Further information and help »

This dataset is a model output from the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) model for the UK (EMEP4UK) driven by the Weather and Research Forecast model meteorology (WRF) applied to Southeast Asia. It provides daily average concentration of ozone and PM2.5, PM10 and ozone on a 0.1° x 0.1° grid for 2019 for 2 scenarios: (1) A baseline run (BASE) including wildfire emissions and (2) A scenario without wildfire emissions (NOFF).
The EMEP4UK model version used here is rv5.0, and the WRF model version is 4.4.2.

Provenance & quality

The EMEP4UK atmospheric chemistry transport model calculated daily average concentrations for a model domain covering Southeast Asia with a resolution of 0.1° x 0.1°.
The data are processed from the full EMEP4UK model output to a subset containing essential variables only. The Climate Data Operators version 1.9.10 was used to subset the model output.
