Daily Surface Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone Concentrations Associated with Permit-based Prescribed Burning over Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina (2017–2019)

This dataset provides model-simulated daily surface concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) and ozone (O₃) for the southeastern United States, specifically Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, during the years 2017–2019. The data were generated using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system (version 5.5) over the CONUS domain and are valid within the three states of interest. Two sets of CMAQ model outputs are included: Total: Daily PM₂.₅ and O₃ concentrations including all emission sources. Background: Daily PM₂.₅ and O₃ concentrations with the permit-based prescribed fire emissions removed. All data are provided in NetCDF format and were processed using Python scripts available in the accompanying open-source repository: US_Southeast_RxF. Time period: 2017–2019Spatial domain: CONUS model domain (results valid for Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina) Please cite: Huang, J. (2025).
