Evaluation data for the Intervention Model for Air Pollution (InMAP) version 1.2.1

This zip file contains data for performing InMAP model runs and evaluations. To the extent that any of the data is covered by third party licenses, it is the responsibility of the user to follow the terms of those licenses. A description of the contents of this directory is below:

- annual_all_2005.csv: U.S. EPA annual average measured air pollution data for year 2005, downloaded from EPA AirData at http://aqsdr1.epa.gov/aqsweb/aqstmp/airdata/download_files.html. 

- census2012blckgrp.shp and associated files: Year 2012 US Census Bureau population counts for several demographic groups. Descriptive and license information regarding these files can be found in census2012blckgrp_README.txt

- InMAPData_v1.2.0.gob: InMAP variable grid resolution input data for the continental U.S. year 2005 for use as the "VariableGridData" variable in the InMAP configuration file. It was created with the 'inmap grid' command.

- InMAPData_v1.2.0.ncf: Regular-grid InMAP input data for the continental U.S. year 2005 for use as the "InMAPData" variable in the InMAP configuration file. It was created from WRF-Chem simulation outputs with the 'wrf2inmap' program. Information regarding the WRF-Chem simulations is available in: Tessum, C. W., Hill, J. D., & Marshall, J. D. (2015). Twelve-month, 12 km resolution North American WRF-Chem v3.4 air quality simulation: performance evaluation. Geosci. Model Dev., 8(4), 957–973. http://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-8-957-2015

- MortalityRate.shp and associated files: Year 2005 all-population, all-cause mortality rate data from the CDC WONDER database (http://wonder.cdc.gov).

- states.shp and related files: U.S. state boundaries for making evaluation maps.

- la_test directory: Files with the area surrounding the city of Los Angeles extracted for faster-running tests.

- 2005_emissions directory: Anthropogenic emissions from the 2005 U.S. EPA National Emissions Inventory (NEI), processed using the AEP model (https://github.com/ctessum/aep) (files Elevated.shp and GroundLevel.shp), and biogenic and wilfire emissions (file bioFireEmis.shp) calculated following the methods in Tessum, C. W., Hill, J. D., & Marshall, J. D. (2015). Twelve-month, 12 km resolution North American WRF-Chem v3.4 air quality simulation: performance evaluation. Geosci. Model Dev., 8(4), 957–973. http://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-8-957-2015

- singleSource directory: Regular-grid InMAP input data for los Angeles for year 2005 for use as the "InMAPData" variable in the InMAP configuration file. It was created from WRF-Chem simulation outputs with the 'wrf2inmap' program, based on a 9 - 3 - 1 km nested WRF-Chem simulation which only included emissions from a single source in downtown Los Angeles. The directory includes four different InMAPData_*.ncf files, three corresponding to the three WRF-Chem domains and one for a nested InMAP simulation. The directory also contains an inmapEmis.shp shapefile and supporting files that contain emissions matching the emissions used in the WRF-Chem simulation. More information about this simulation can be found in the InMAP model description article.

- FuelScenarios directory: This directory contains two subdirectories. "Emissions" contains spatial emissions information corresponding to the emissions scenarios described at doi: 10.1073/pnas.1406853111. "Concentrations" contains changes in pollutant concentrations resulting from WRF-Chem simulations of the emissions scenarios, also described and discussed at doi: 10.1073/pnas.1406853111.
