Data associated with “Convective distribution of dust over the Arabian Peninsula: the impact of model resolution”
Along the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, convective dust storms are a considerable source of mineral dust to the atmosphere. Reliable predictions of convective dust events are necessary to determine their effects on air ... -
Data associated with Boone (2020) "Hierarchical global plant biophysical regions as potential analysis units”
Regional and global vegetation simulations can be problematic when analysis units to which parameters are assigned do not align with plant productivity and phenology. Having a suite of pre-defined biophysical regions at a ... -
Data collected during the pilot campaign of the Citizen-Enabled Aerosol Measurements for Satellites (CEAMS) network in Northern Colorado
These measurement data were collected by participants using the Aerosol Mass and Optical Depth (AMOD) sampler during a pilot campaign for the Citizen-Enabled Aerosol Measurements for Satellites (CEAMS) network in Fall/Winter ... -
Data set associated with “A low-cost monitor for simultaneous measurement of fine particulate matter and aerosol optical depth – Part 1: Specifications and testing”
Globally, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution is a leading contributor to death, disease, and environmental degradation. Satellite-based measurements of aerosol optical depth (AOD) are used to estimate PM2.5 ... -
Dataset associated with "Detection of non-Gaussian behaviour using Machine Learning Techniques"
An important assumption made in most variational, ensemble and hybrid based data assimilation systems is that all minimised errors are Gaussian random variables. There has been theory developed at the Cooperative Institute ... -
Data associated with "Resilience and regime shifts: Do novel communities impede ecological recovery in a historically metal-contaminated stream?"
Novel communities that result from exposure to contaminants and other anthropogenic stressors often persist in ecosystems that have experienced regime shifts. Because these systems may not return to pre-disturbance conditions ... -
Dataset associated with "A Tale of Two Dust Storms: Analysis of a Complex Dust Event in the Middle East"
Lofted mineral dust over data-sparse regions presents considerable challenges to satellite-based remote sensing methods and numerical weather prediction alike. The Southwest Asia domain is replete with such examples, with ... -
Model code and tools associated with "The Influence of Simulated Surface Dust Lofting and Atmospheric Loading on Radiative Forcing"
This high-resolution numerical modeling study investigates the potential range of impact of surface-lofted dust aerosols on the mean radiative fluxes and temperature changes associated with a dust lofting episode over the ... -
Dataset associated with "Laboratory Evaluation of Low-cost PurpleAir PM Monitors and In-field Correction using Co-located Portable Filter Samplers"
Low-cost aerosol monitors can provide more spatially- and temporally-resolved data on ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations than are typically available from regulatory monitoring networks; however, low-cost ... -
Dataset associated with "The landscape of North American rangeland social science: a systematic map"
Rangeland scientists have made substantial progress in understanding ecological dynamics of rangelands, but the social factors have received less attention in North America. A body of North American rangeland social science ... -
Dataset associated with "Multiple‐Instance Superparameterization, Part 1: Concept, and Predictability of Precipitation"
We have investigated the predictability of precipitation using a new configuration of the superparameterized Community Atmosphere Model, SP-CAM. The new configuration, called the multiple-instance superparameterized-CAM, ... -
Data associated with the manuscript: Influence of single-nanoparticle electrochromic dynamics on the durability and speed of smart windows
Nanomaterials have tremendous potential to increase electrochromic smart window efficiency, speed, and durability. However, nanoparticles vary in size, shape, and surface defects, and it is unknown how nanoparticle ... -
Data associated with "Health and environmental justice implications of retiring two coal‐fired power plants in the southern Front Range region of Colorado"
Despite improvements in air quality over the past 50 years, ambient air pollution remains an important public health issue in the United States. In particular, emissions from coal-fired power plants still have a substantial ... -
Data Associated with, "Methane Emissions from Gathering and Boosting Compressor Stations in the U.S. Supporting Volume 2: Compressor Engine Exhaust Measurements
The in-stack tracer method was used during the field campaign to measure unburned methane entrained in the exhaust of natural gas compressor engines (“combustion slip”). Combustion slip was estimated by injecting a tracer ... -
Data Associated with "Methane Emissions from Gathering and Boosting Compressor Stations in the U.S. Supporting Volume 1: Multi-Day Measurements of Pneumatic Controller Emissions"
This study was part of a larger study (the Gathering Emission Factor, or “GEF”) study [1] to develop activity and methane emission factors for EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory (EPA GHGI) using direct emission measurements ... -
Expert survey data on key challenges, drivers, and ecosystem services across mountains worldwide
Mountain social-ecological systems (MtSES) are vital to humanity, providing ecosystem services to over half the planet’s human population. Despite their importance, there has been no global assessment of threats to MtSES, ... -
Data associated with "Simulating secondary organic aerosol in a regional air quality model using the statistical oxidation model – Part 3: Assessing the influence of semi-volatile and intermediate-volatility organic compounds and NOx"
Semi-volatile and intermediate-volatility organic compounds (SVOCs and IVOCs) from anthropogenic sources are likely to be important precursors of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in urban airsheds, yet their treatment in ... -
Dataset associated with "Effects of fuel moisture content on emissions from a rocket-elbow cookstove"
Exposure to air pollution from solid-fuel cookstoves is a leading risk factor for premature death; however, the effect of fuel moisture content on air pollutant emissions from solid-fuel cookstoves remains poorly constrained. ... -
Dataset associated with "Evaluation of ambient ammonia measurements from a research aircraft using a closed-path QC-TILDAS spectrometer operated with active continuous passivation"
A closed-path quantum cascade tunable infrared laser direct absorption spectrometer (QC-TILDAS) was outfitted with an inertial inlet for filter-less separation of particles, a custom-designed aircraft inlet, a custom-built ...
