This file describes the dataset used in Ou et al., "Air pollution control strategies directly limiting national health damages in the US."

This work used the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) with state-level representation of the U.S. energy system (GCAM-USA). GCAM and GCAM-USA are developed and released by the University of Maryland/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Joint Global Change Research Center (JGCRI). For further details, see the GCAM documentation: jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc. The model source code is available at github.com/JGCRI/gcam-core.

A modified version of GCAMv4.3 was used for this analysis. Source code and input data specific for this paper are available upon request.

This dataset contains Excel spreadsheets and an R script that link to comma-separated values (CSV) files that were extracted from the model output. The spreadsheets and scripts show the data and reproduce each of the figures in the paper.

This dataset is associated with the following publication: Ou, Y., J. West, S. Smith, C. Nolte, and D. Loughlin. Air pollution control strategies directly limiting national health damages in the US.. Nature Communications. Nature Publishing Group, London, UK, 11: 957, (2020).
