ChinaHighPM2.5: Big Data Seamless 1 km Ground-level PM2.5 Dataset for China

ChinaHighPM2.5 is one of the series of long-term, full-coverage, high-resolution, and high-quality datasets of ground-level air pollutants for China (i.e., ChinaHighAirPollutants, CHAP). It is generated from the big data (e.g., ground-based measurements, satellite remote sensing products, atmospheric reanalysis, and model simulations) using artificial intelligence by considering the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of air pollution. This is the big data-derived seamless (spatial coverage = 100%) daily, monthly, and yearly 1 km (i.e., D1K, M1K, and Y1K) ground-level PM2.5 dataset in China from 2000 to 2022. This dataset yields a high quality with a cross-validation coefficient of determination (CV-R2) of 0.92, a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 10.76 µg m-3, and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 6.32 µg m-3 on a daily basis.
