The potential effects of climate change on air quality across the conterminous U.S. at 2030 under three Representative Concentration Pathways

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-10-23
This dataset is the underlying data described in Nolte et al., "The potential effects of climate change on air quality across the conterminous U.S. at 2030 under three Representative Concentration Pathways", Atmos. Chem. Phys., in press, 2018. The paper describes simulated changes in U.S. air quality (ozone and particulate matter) between 2000 and 2030 under three scenarios of climate change. Ozone data are in parts per billion by volume, particulate matter are in micrograms per cubic meter, temperature changes are in degrees Celsius, and precipitation has units of millimeters of accumulated precipitation per month. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Nolte, C., T. Spero, J. Bowden, M. Mallard, and P. Dolwick. The potential effects of climate change on air quality across the conterminous US at 2030 under three Representative Concentration Pathways. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. Copernicus Publications, Katlenburg-Lindau, GERMANY, 18(20): 15471-15489, (2018).
