Monthly Global Estimates of Fine Particulate Matter and Their Uncertainty
Open accessAbstract
Annual global satellite-based estimates of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) are widely relied upon for air-quality assessment.Here, we develop and apply a methodology for monthly estimates and uncertainties during the period 1998-2019, which combines satellite retrievals of aerosol optical depth, chemical transport modeling, and ground-based measurements to allow for the characterization of seasonal and episodic exposure, as well as aid air-quality management.Many densely populated regions have their highest PM 2.5 concentrations in winter, exceeding summertime concentrations by factors of 1.5-3.0 over Eastern Europe, Western Europe, South Asia, and East Asia.In South Asia, in January, regional population-weighted monthly mean PM 2.5 concentrations exceed 90 μg/m 3 , with local concentrations of approximately 200 μg/m 3 for parts of the Indo-Gangetic Plain.In East Asia, monthly mean PM 2.5 concentrations have decreased over the period 2010-2019 by 1.6-2.6 μg/m 3 /year, with decreases beginning 2-3 years earlier in summer than in winter.We find evidence that global-monitored locations tend to be in cleaner regions than global mean PM 2.5 exposure, with large measurement gaps in the Global South.Uncertainty estimates exhibit regional consistency with observed differences between ground-based and satellitederived PM 2.5 .The evaluation of uncertainty for agglomerated values indicates that hybrid PM 2.5 estimates provide precise regionalscale representation, with residual uncertainty inversely proportional to the sample size.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
