Abstract Limited information is available on how fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations
15
vary over the course of a day at the global scale. We used aggregated data sources to analyze the
16
diurnal cycle of PM2.5 from over 17 million hourly measurements at 3110 sites across the world,
17
primarily in North America, Europe, and East Asia. The measurements reveal that diurnal PM2.5
18
cycles exhibit similar patterns across sites worldwide with a mean diurnal variability of 13.1%.
19
PM2.5 cycles have a morning peak between 7:00-10:00 local solar time (LST) and an early night
20
time peak between 21:00-23:00 LST, with an afternoon minimum occurring between 15:001 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Environmental Science & Technology Letters
21
17:00 LST. Diurnal cycles are associated with dynamics of the atmospheric mixed layer as well
22
as diurnal emission patterns, exhibiting increased amplitude in regions with large mixed layer
23
height and mountainous terrain.

1. Introduction
25
Page 2 of 12
Airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is of global interest due to its adverse health
26
effects1 and its effects on climate2. PM2.5 exposure has been identified as the leading
27
environmental risk factor for the global burden of disease with 4.2 million attributable deaths in
28
20153. PM2.5 concentrations are influenced by the complex effects of anthropogenic and natural
29
sources, meteorology, and chemical processes4,5. Understanding the diurnal variation of PM2.5 is
30
important to understand patterns of exposure, to evaluate and improve its representation in
31
models, to relate satellite observations at specific overpass times to 24-hour concentrations, and
32
to design PM2.5 measurement systems. Until recently, much of the available data on PM2.5 has
33
had coarse temporal resolution or covered a limited geographic area; to our knowledge no studies
34
have analyzed the measured diurnal PM2.5 cycle at the global scale.
35
Several single-city analyses have been conducted of PM2.5 diurnal variation6–9. Diurnal
36
PM2.5 cycles modulate other modes of PM2.5 variability10,11 and are thought to be driven by local
37
emissions, meteorology and secondary production12. PM2.5 can also affect atmospheric
38
stability13. Cycles from different sites within regions share notable features, such as morning and
39
evening peaks which have been associated with periods of increased anthropogenic activity14,15.
40
Questions remain about the consistency of these cycles both within and between regions.
41
PM2.5 measurements in developing countries have historically been sparse and
42
disaggregated. This has begun to change in recent years due to government agencies and
43
research groups across the world collecting and publicly sharing air quality data in near real time.
44
However the data are provided in many different formats and often historical data are not
45
retained. OpenAQ is a non-profit organization that aggregates, uniformly formats, and retains
46
these data, providing them freely and openly through an open-source platform to enable
47
unprecedented insight into global air quality (https://openaq.org). In this work we use aggregated
48
data from OpenAQ and other sources to report and analyze diurnal patterns of PM2.5
49
concentration across the world.

2. Materials and Methods We obtained PM2.5 measurements gathered by OpenAQ for the 2017 calendar year.
53
Additional PM2.5 data for 2017 were obtained from websites providing aggregated data from
54
China’s national air quality monitoring network (http://data.epmap.org; http://pm25.in). These
55
data sets contain PM2.5 measurements collected using a variety of instruments (e.g. BAMs and
56
TEOMs) and of measurement protocols; however, no low-cost, mobile, temporary or indoor
57
sensors are included. Global hourly precipitation and mixed layer height data at 0.25°x0.31°
58
resolution were obtained from the GEOS-FP assimilated meteorological dataset from the NASA
59
Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO). Gridded elevation standard deviation data
60
were obtained at half-degree resolution from the International Satellite Land Surface
61
Climatology Project initiative II (ISLSCP II) elevation-derived products16. Population density
62
data were obtained from the gridded population of the world version 4 (GPW v4) dataset17.
63
All PM2.5 measurements were averaged over a period of one hour or less. Hourly data
64
points were associated with the local solar time (LST) defined as 𝑇𝐿𝑆𝑇 = 𝑇𝑈𝑇𝐶 +𝐿𝑜𝑛/15
65
following Guo et al18. At each site, data were retained only for days with more than 16 out of a
66
possible 24 hours. Sites with fewer than 50 days of data were rejected. Sites with mean PM2.5
67
concentrations lower than 5 μg/m3 were rejected to reduce measurement error. The resultant data
68
set consisted of over 17 million separate hourly measurements from 3110 sites. Precipitation and
69
mixed layer height data were sampled at PM2.5 measurement sites for each hour where PM2.5
70
measurements were retained, and averaged for each hour across the year.
71
Annual site-specific diurnal cycles comprising 24 hourly PM2.5 concentrations were
72
calculated as the site mean over the year for each hour of the day, normalized by the site specific
73
daily mean PM2.5 value as shown in equation 1. 𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠(𝑖)

3. Results and Discussion
79
Diurnal Variability
80
Page 4 of 12
Table 1 summarizes the PM2.5 measurements for each region considered in this study.
81
PM2.5 has modest diurnal variation with a global average DV of 13.1%. Regional mean
82
concentrations vary by a factor of 6 from North America (8.9 μg/m3 ) to Central Asia (59 μg/m3).
83
However, the average diurnal variability exhibits much weaker regional variation ranging from
84
12% for East Asia to 19% for Central Asia.
85
Figure 1 shows spatial patterns in the annual mean DV and annual mean PM2.5. The
86
magnitude of DV is remarkably consistent worldwide, especially considering that the data are
87
from multiple instrument types and measurement protocols. The 20th and 80th percentiles of DV
88
are 7.6% and 17.8% respectively. The most striking pattern is observed in East Asia, with low
89
DV of 5%-10% in southeast China but higher DV of 10%-20% in areas to the more arid North
90
and West. DV is fairly consistent within 10%-20% across Europe, however there are clusters of
91
high site DV of 20%-30% in southern France and in northern Germany. DV in the western half
92
of North America tends to exceed DV in the East. Insufficient data exist to well characterize the
93
DV in South America, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East, however the sites that do exist
94
exhibit DV of similar magnitude to other regions.
95
We find weak global spatial correlation of DV with two static variables, latitude (r =
96
0.25) reflecting lower DV in temperate regions, and elevation standard deviation (r = 0.21),
97
perhaps reflecting the role of adjacent elevation in inhibiting ventilation of local sources. Sites
98
with large DV often occur in mountainous areas, particularly in western North America, the
99
Pyranees, and western China (Figure S1). Below we examine the relationships of DV with
100
diurnally varying processes.
101
Diurnal PM2.5 Cycles
102 103
Figure 2a shows average diurnal PM2.5 cycles as a fraction of the daily mean value. All cycles share a similar pattern, with a morning peak between 07:00-10:00 LST and an early night
4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 5 of 12
Environmental Science & Technology Letters
104
peak between 21:00-23:00 LST. The daily minimum PM2.5 occurs in the afternoon between
105
15:00-17:00 LST.
106
The consistently shaped PM2.5 diurnal cycle observed across all regions, despite
107
significant between-site differences in mean concentration and chemical composition, suggests
108
that diurnal PM2.5 cycles are modulated by similar processes worldwide. Similar diurnal patterns
109
have been reported for PM10 as well as for primary gas-phase pollutants such as CO19 and
110
various aromatic compounds20–22. Figure 2b shows the diurnal cycle of GEOS mixed layer height
111
sampled at the PM2.5 measurement sites analogously to Figure 2a. Low afternoon PM2.5 values
112
reflect dilution within a deep daytime mixed layer. Conversely, the shallow stable night time
113
boundary layer that forms after sun-set allows PM2.5 to accumulate near the surface, contributing
114
to higher concentrations at night.
115
We also explored potential relationships with precipitation. Figure 2c shows the regional
116
diurnal cycles of precipitation sampled at PM2.5 measurement sites analogously to Figure 2a.
117
Low afternoon PM2.5 values may also be influenced by wet deposition through increased
118
afternoon precipitation. Diurnal precipitation patterns exhibit large regional variation that is
119
inconsistent with regional diurnal variation pf PM2.5 (e.g. Europe vs. Other Regions), indicating
120
that precipitation is unlikely to be the primary cause of the globally consistent diurnal PM2.5
121
cycles in Figure 2a.
122
While diurnal PM2.5 cycles generally share similar features, the relative strengths and
123
locations of these features differ between regions. The diurnal cycles for North America, Europe,
124
and East Asia are comparable in shape and amplitude, but they are temporally shifted relative to
125
each other with the morning peak in North America occurring 3 hours earlier than in East Asia.
126
Mixed layer height does not explain this regional difference (Figure 2b); regional activity
127
patterns may be responsible. The amplitude of the diurnal cycle is largest in Central Asia with
128
large morning and night time peaks and a low daytime minimum. The strong diurnal PM2.5 cycle
129
in Central Asia is accompanied by a strong diurnal cycle of mixed layer height (Figure 2b). The
130
diurnal cycle of mixed layer height is comparable between the remaining regions with the
131
smallest amplitude occurring in Europe.
132 133
The increase in DV with increased mixed layer diurnal variation indicates that PM2.5 cycles are influenced by mixed layer height. However, changes in mixed layer height greatly 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Environmental Science & Technology Letters
134
exceed the relatively small overall DV. The mixed layer height more than quadruples from
135
sunrise to the afternoon (Figure 2b) whereas the mean DV of PM2.5 is only 13%. This implies
136
that other processes compensate for the effects of dilution within the mixed layer on the diurnal
137
PM2.5 cycle. One possible source of compensation is interaction with the remnant boundary
138
layer, the residual layer containing aerosols previously suspended by vertical mixing but no
139
longer contained within the mixed layer. Secondary formation may also dampen the afternoon
140
minimum through increased daytime photochemical production23. Other compensation factors
141
may include daytime maxima for some sources, such as biogenics24 and emissions25 related to
142
human activity patterns.
143
Page 6 of 12
Figure S5 shows the normalized and non-normalized diurnal PM2.5 cycles separated by
144
season for the sites where data were available for the full year. These sites, mostly in Eastern and
145
Central Asia, exhibit large seasonal differences in mean PM2.5 concentration (Figure S5b).
146
However, the normalized diurnal PM2.5 cycles remain similar between seasons (Figure S5a) with
147
DV ranging from 11.9% in the summer (JJA) to 13.6% in the fall (SON).
148
Previous studies have associated the morning and evening peaks of the diurnal PM2.5
149
cycle with increased anthropogenic emissions6. Figure S6 shows the diurnal PM2.5 cycles
150
separated by site population density, showing that sites with high population density have a
151
diurnal PM2.5 cycle with a slightly stronger morning peak. Figure S2 shows that the morning
152
peak is attenuated on weekends as compared to weekdays, providing some evidence that human
153
activity patterns play a role in enhancing the morning peak. However this effect is small, and the
154
effects of anthropogenic emissions on the evening peak are harder to discern due to the
155
coincidence of the evening rush hour with the collapse of the daytime mixed layer.
156
While DV is consistent between sites across a wide range of mean PM2.5 concentrations,
157
sites with mean PM2.5 concentrations exceeding 80 μg/m3 exhibit diurnal PM2.5 cycles with
158
increased amplitude (Figure S3a). These sites are associated with a stronger cycle of mixed layer
159
height (Figure S3b). Some sites also show diurnal PM2.5 cycles that are very different from the
160
global average. For example, in Mexico City PM2.5 levels are highest at midday despite a very
161
strong diurnal cycle of mixing layer height (Figure S4) reflecting unique site photochemical
162
production and/or emission patterns. However, such anomalous sites are sufficiently rare that
163
diurnal PM2.5 cycles remain highly consistent across regions (Figure 2a). 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Outlook
165
Analysis of over 17 million hourly measurements from 3110 sites revealed that regional
166
diurnal variability ranged from 12% in East Asia to 19% in Central Asia, despite large regional
167
differences in regional mean PM2.5 concentration of 9 μg/m3 in North America to 59 μg/m3 in
168
Central Asia. This remarkable global homogeneity in diurnal PM2.5 cycles suggests the influence
169
of common factors including the diurnal cycle of mixed layer depth modulated by other
170
processes such as diurnally varying emission patterns. Subtle regional differences offer insight
171
into regional processes. Further work is needed to elucidate the effects of wet deposition and
172
secondary formation on the diurnal PM2.5 cycle. This work also demonstrates the utility of aggregated datasets from organizations such as
173 174
OpenAQ for providing novel insight into the factors affecting air quality on hourly timescales
175
across the world. These datasets should be useful for a number of further applications including
176
evaluating the ability of chemical transport models to represent the observed diurnal variation of
177
PM2.5.
