weather, climate, and human health. This study leverages the AOD reconstruction method to compensate for missing values in the MAIAC AOD throughout Hubei Province. The reconstructed AOD dataset, exhibiting an R2\/RMSE of 0.76\/0.18, compared to AERONET AOD, was subsequently used for PM2.5 estimation. Our research breaks from traditional methodologies that solely depend on latitude and longitude information. Instead, it emphasizes the use of climate feature as an input for estimating PM2.5 concentrations. This strategic approach prevents potential spatial discontinuities triggered by geolocation information (latitude and longitude), thus ensuring the precision of the PM2.5 estimation (sample\/spatial CV R2 = 0.91\/0.88). Moreover, we proposed a method for identifying the absolute feature importance of machine-learning models. Contrasted with the relative feature-importance property typical of machine-learning models (a minor difference in the order of top three between geolocation-based and climate-feature-based models, and the slight difference in the top three: 0.08%\/0.17%), our method provides a more comprehensive explanation of the absolute significance of features to the model (maintaining the same order and a larger difference in the top three: 0.99%\/0.72%). Crucially, our findings demonstrated that AOD reconstruction can mitigate the overestimation of annual mean PM2.5 concentrations (ranging from 0.52 to 9.28 \u00b5g\/m3). In addition, the seamless PM2.5 dataset contributes to reducing the bias in exposure risk assessment (ranging from \u22120.11 to 9.81 \u00b5g\/m3).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15153822","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]],"date-time":"2023-08-01T09:24:24Z","timestamp":1690881864000},"page":"3822","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Estimation of Daily Seamless PM2.5 Concentrations with Climate Feature in Hubei Province, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Wenjia","family":"Ni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere, School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere, School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Siwei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere, School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Hubei Luojia Laboratory, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Mengfan","family":"Teng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere, School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Luojia Laboratory, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Xu, L., Chen, B., Huang, C., Zhou, M., You, S., Jiang, F., Chen, W., and Deng, J.
