This dataset consists of a vector layer (based on 1 by 1° grid), of modelled daily surface nitrogen dioxide (NO2, ug m-3). A seasonal average value per grid cell was calculated for the grassland growing season (mid-April to mid-July), for the USA and UK, in 2018.

Provenance & quality

The surface NO2 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.
