This repo has data wrangling and modeling scripts for phase 2.
Current projection is UTM zone 16.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| PM2.5 | The target variable for modeling: particulate matter ≤ 2.5μm in dameter. |
| AOD | Aerosol Optical Depth |
| NDVI | Normalized Difference Vegetation Index |
| PS | A kernel density estimate of the number of PM2.5 emissions sources. |
| Road Density | Separated into Primary/Secondary/Motorway roads; motorways are the most important roads, followed by primary and then secondary |
| Land Cover Development | Separated into low/medium/high intensity development |
| Population Density | Tract-level population density |
| TEMP | Temperature in Fahrenheit |
| RELH | Relative Humidity |
| WDVL | Wind Velocity in knots |
| MSLP | Mean Sea Level Pressure |
| VSBY | Visibility in miles |
| Elev | Elevation |
| PBL | Planetary Boundary Layer; TBD |
| Dataset | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
| AOD | TBD; awaiting counsel; currently WIP with MCD19A2 | TBD |
| NDVI | TBD; awaiting counsel; currently WIP with MCD19A2 | TBD |
| PS | PM2.5 Point Source emissions KDE | Box |
| Roads | Gridfile with 3 layers: primary, secondary, and motorway | Box |
| Land Cover | USGS? correct me if I'm wrong | Box |
| Pop. Density | Currently on my PC haha 😅 | TBD |
| Meteorological Variables | Also currently on my PC; need to be interpolated | TBD |
| PBL | TBD | TBD |
I also have the full 21 counties dataset on my computer, if that would be a useful link.
