Probable Wildland Fire Exceptional Events for Ozone and PM2.5 Across CONUS, 2020-2023

Data and results used to identify probable wildland fire exceptional events for ozone and PM2.5 across the contiguous United States for the years 2020-2023. The 129.9 MB ZIP file includes resulting design value calculations with and without the probable exceptional events included. It was authored by Nathan Pavlovic and last updated on April 28, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identifying days where air quality exceedances were likely caused by wildland fires based on the event analysis.
• Calculating regulatory design values for ozone and PM2.5 with and without fire-influenced data.
• Analyzing the spatial and temporal patterns of fire-related exceptional events across the contiguous U.S. from 2020 to 2023.

Strengths

• Data covers a four-year period (2020-2023) across the contiguous United States.
• Includes calculated design values both with and without probable exceptional events, allowing for comparative analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data structure and quality require manual inspection.
