Need a little help! Student seeking high-freq (at least daily), high-res (~10 km or less) gridded ~surface ozone & PM2.5 observations. Next best thing would be hourly station-level data of surface O3 and PM2.5 with decent spatial coverage across the globe. Anyone out there know of such a dataset?

Today, we published a study long in the making on how upper and subsurface tropical Pacific waters responded (and maybe will adjust) to warmer global climate. Here’s the story of how we got here after 15 years. many authors but shout out @jfarmersalmanac.bsky.social
