Future changes in regional five-year mean surface PM2.5 from 2015 to 2100 in different shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs). PM2.5 stands for micrograms per cubic meter of aerosols with diameter less than 2.5 μm and is calculated by summing up individual aerosol mass components from each model as: black carbon + particulate organic matter + sulphate + 0.25 × sea salt + 0.1 × dust. Since not all CMIP6 models reported nitrate aerosol, it is not included here. See Figure 6.20 for further details. PM2.5 changes are also displayed in the Interactive Atlas. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 6.SM.3).
