Jaffe, DanielLee, Haebum2023-10-112023-10-112023-10-10http://hdl.handle.net/1773/50957We investigated the impact of wildfires on maximum daily 8-hour average ozone concentrations (MDA8 O3) at four sites in Salt Lake City (SLC), Utah for May to September for 2006–2022. Smoke days, which were identified by a combination of overhead satellite smoke detection and surface PM2.5 data and accounted for approximately 9% of the total number of days, exhibited O3 levels 6.8 to 8.9 ppb higher than no-smoke days and were predominantly characterized by high daily maximum temperatures and low relative humidity. A Generalized Additive Model (GAM) was developed to quantify the impact of wildfire contributions to O3. The GAM, which provides smooth functions that make the interpretation of relationships more intuitive, employed 17 predictors and demonstrated reliable performance in various evaluation metrics. These datafiles provide the input data and R codes used in the analysis.CC0 1.0 Universalhttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/SAMOZA, Salt Lake City, ozone, pm2.5, smoke, wildfires, air qualityDataset
