Abstract

BACKGROUND: Machine-learning algorithms are becoming popular techniques to predict ambient air PM concentrations at high spatial resolutions (1 × 1 km) using satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD). Most machine-learning models have aimed to predict 24 h-averaged PM concentrations (mean PM) in high-income regions. Over Mexico, none have been developed to predict subdaily peak levels, such as the maximum daily 1-h concentration (max PM).
