Data for EPA’s Air QUAlity TimE Series Project (EQUATES) Version 1

The US EPA developed a set of modeled meteorology, emissions, air quality and pollutant deposition spanning the years 2002 through 2019.  Modeled datasets cover the Conterminous US (CONUS) at a 12km horizontal grid spacing (12US1) and the Northern Hemisphere at a 108km (108NHEMI) using WRFv4.1.1 for meteorology and CMAQv5.3.2 for air quality modeling. New hemispheric and North American emissions inventories were developed using, to the extent possible, consistent input data and methods across all years, including emissions from mobile, fire, and oil and gas sources. Collectively these model outputs represent 100s of TB of data. We have selected a subset of the model input and output datasets that we hope will be most useful to the air quality research community. These datasets include: - Emissions inventory files for the CONUS for 2002-2019 suitable for input into the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) emission processor - CMAQ-ready emissions, initial conditions and boundary condition input files for the 12US1 domain for 2002-2019 - CMAQ-ready meteorology files for the 12US1 domain for 2013-2019. (Fewer years of meteorology data are included due to space constraints.) - Matched meteorology model output with surface observations for 2002-2019 - Daily average CMAQ output for the 12US1 domain for 2002-2019 for 14 pollutants - Daily average 3D CMAQ output for 44 layers for the 108NHEMI domain for 2002–2019
