Plume Particulate Nitrate Emissions over North China for 2019

57.3 KB of data quantifying filterable and condensable primary particulate nitrate (P-NO₃⁻) emissions from plumes over North China for January and August 2019. The dataset was created by Yuanzhe Ni and integrates a sector-specific emissions framework, oxygen-isotope constraints, and WRF-CMAQ sensitivity simulations. It includes a China-specific source-profile database and a condensable particulate matter inventory across 9 anthropogenic sectors.

Use Cases

• Calibrating chemical transport models based on quantified plume primary nitrate emissions.
• Analyzing sectoral contributions to air pollution based on the 9 anthropogenic sectors in the inventory.
• Assessing seasonal variation in nitrate concentrations based on data for January and August 2019.
• Validating emission inventories using the compiled China-specific source-profile database.

Strengths

• Includes a constructed condensable particulate matter inventory across 9 anthropogenic sectors.
• Quantifies emissions for two distinct seasons (January and August 2019).
• Integrates multiple methodologies: emissions framework, isotope constraints, and model simulations.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to two months in 2019 and the North China region.
