EQUATES CMAQv5.3.2 CB6r5 High Resolution Deposition Data

These files contain gridded annual dry deposition estimates from 2002 to 2019 from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model version 5.3.2 (see https://github.com/USEPA/CMAQ/tree/5.3.2) with the revised Surface Tiled Aerosol and Gaseous Exchange (STAGE) model (Appel et al., 2021) created for the EPA’s Air QUAlity TimE Series (EQUATES, https://www.epa.gov/cmaq/equates) project. These deposition fields have been downscaled from the native 12 km resolution to 300 m by mapping STAGE land use specific deposition to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) 17 category International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) classification scheme. For details on model inputs, please refer to the EPA’s EQUATES (https://www.epa.gov/cmaq/equates) project and Benish et al., 2022.
