Estimating local emissions of BC and PM2.5 in suburban zones using dispersion modeling. Case study of Santiago, Chile.

The uploaded files contain the estimated local and non local contributions to eBC and PM2.5 coming from fossil fuel and wood burning at three suburbs in Santiago, Chile.

The methodology for estimating local and non-local contributions has been published in:  Jessika Rodríguez, Ana María Villalobos, Julio Castro-Molinare, Héctor Jorquera, Local and NON-LOCAL source apportionment of black carbon and combustion generated PM2.5, Environmental Pollution, Volume 346, 2024, 123568, ISSN 0269-7491,https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123568.

The csv files whose names start with 'eBC' contain the modeling of local emissions of BC and their comparison with the above eBC estimates, to obtain improved emissions of those pollutants at the three studies suburbs of Santiago, Chile. The Excel file is a compilation of all of these comparisons in a single file.

The csv files whose names start with 'WRF' contain the surface meteorological observations and the corresponding WRF simulation results for three monitoring stations in Santiago, Chile, for the campaing periods carried out at those suburban sites.
