Google Earth Datasets:
A small selection of regional Annual Mean Satellite-Derived PM₂.₅ estimates have been cut for import into Google Earth (the whole dataset is too big for a single file). These correspond to mean 2001-2006 values adjusted to the given relative humidities (RH).
Google Earth Datasets:
A small selection of regional Mean Satellite-Derived PM₂.₅ estimates have been cut for import into Google Earth, available [here]. These correspond to 2001-2010 concentrations adjusted to 35% relative humidity. Click on placemarks labelled ‘PM₂.₅′ for the legend.
