High temporal-spatial pollution data in city of Hong Kong

Dataset description

Format: Raster dataset of 30 randomly sampled days in 2019 for NO2, O3, PM2.5 and PM10 in hourly resolution with grid cells of 45m * 48m over the Hong Kong domain (1000 x 1000 pixels). Units are in μg/m3 for PM10 and PM2.5 and ppb for NO2 and O3.

Size: The dataset contains 720 raster files (30 days * 24 hours) for each pollutant, which in total sums up to 2880 files. The below maps show an example of 24-hour evolution of NO2 concentrations over the study domain, generated from 24 raster files.
