We validated Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) aerosol optical depth (AOD) with ground observations in Japan and developed a 1-km-resolution national-scale model between 2011 and 2016 to estimate daily PM2.5 concentrations. A two-stage random forest model integrating MAIAC AOD with meteorological variables and land use data was applied to develop the model. The first-stage random forest model was used to impute the missing AOD values. The second-stage random forest model was then utilised to estimate ground PM2.5 concentrations. Ten-fold cross-validation was performed to evaluate the model performance. There was good consistency between MAIAC AOD and ground truth in Japan (correlation coefficient = 0.82 and 74.62% of data falling within the expected error). For model training, the model showed a training coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.98 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.22 \u03bcg\/m3. For the 10-fold cross-validation, the cross-validation R2 and RMSE of the model were 0.86 and 3.02 \u03bcg\/m3, respectively. A subsite validation was used to validate the model at the grids overlapping with the AERONET sites, and the model performance was excellent at these sites with a validation R2 (RMSE) of 0.94 (1.78 \u03bcg\/m3). Additionally, the model performance increased as increased AOD coverage. The top-ten important predictors for estimating ground PM2.5 concentrations were day of the year, temperature, AOD, relative humidity, 10-m-height zonal wind, 10-m-height meridional wind, boundary layer height, precipitation, surface pressure, and population density. MAIAC AOD showed high retrieval accuracy in Japan. The performance of the satellite-based model was excellent, which showed that PM2.5 estimates derived from the model were reliable and accurate. These estimates can be used to assess both the short-term and long-term effects of PM2.5 on health outcomes in epidemiological studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13183657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,13]],"date-time":"2021-09-13T23:32:23Z","timestamp":1631575943000},"page":"3657","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["A National-Scale 1-km Resolution PM2.5 Estimation Model over Japan Using MAIAC AOD and a Two-Stage Random Forest Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chau-Ren","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Environment and Children\u2019s Study Programme Office, National Institute for Environmental Studies, Tsukuba 305-8506, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, College of Public Health, China Medical University, Taichung 406040, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9292-0933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei-Ting","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Sciences, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106319, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7772-0389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shoji F.","family":"Nakayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Environment and Children\u2019s Study Programme Office, National Institute for Environmental Studies, Tsukuba 305-8506, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2021, September 12).
