### Dataset Summary

This is a dataset of converted ECMWF CAMS Air Quality forecasts over Europe on a 0.1x0.1 degree grid. The data is available on a 3-year rolling archive, so this repo is attempting to keep more of that data public.
The data has been converted to Zarr, and only the height levels of 0m,50m, 250m,500m,1000m,2000m,3000m,and 5000m have been kept. 
Additionally, the forecasts go out to 96 hours from ECMWF, but this dataset only contains forecasts up to 48 hours into the future, as it is more focused on being useful for short-term solar forecasting over the next 48 hours, and to reduce file size.

## Dataset Structure

Each day is a Zarr containing 13 different aerosols on the 6 height levels, going out 48 hourly-timesteps to the future, from midnight on that day. These can be opened with Zarr, and have been chunked into quarters spatially (along latitude and longitude),
and in a single chunk temporally and height-wise. In other words, each variable has 4 chunks. No data has been modified or changed from the original values.
