This study improves traditional PM2.5estimation models by combining an hourly aerosol optical depth from the Advanced Himawari Imager onboard Himawari-8 with a newly introduced predictor to estimate hourly PM2.5concentrations in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region from November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2019. The new predictor is an hourly PM2.5forecasting product from the Model of Aerosol Species IN the Global AtmospheRe (MASINGAR). Comparative experiments were conducted by utilizing three extensively used regression models, namely, multiple linear regression (MLR), geographically weighted regression (GWR), and linear mixed effects (LME). A ten-fold cross validation (CV) demonstrated that the MASINGAR product significantly improved the performances of these models. The introduced product increased the model’s determination coefficients (from 0.316 to 0.379 for MLR, from 0.393 to 0.445 for GWR, and from 0.718 to 0.765 for LME), decreased their root mean square errors (from 38.2 μg/m3to 36.4 μg/m3for MLR, from 36.0 μg/m3to 34.4 μg/m3for GWR, and from 24.5 μg/m3to 22.4 μg/m3for LME) and mean absolute errors (from 25.2 μg/m3to 23.3 μg/m3for MLR, from 23.5 μg/m3to 21.8 μg/m3for GWR, and from 15.2 μg/m3to 13.7 μg/m3for LME). Then, a well-trained LME model was utilized to estimate the spatial distributions of hourly PM2.5concentrations. Highly polluted localities were clustered in the central and southern areas of the BTH region, and the least polluted area was in northwestern Hebei. Seasonal PM2.5levels averaged from the hourly estimations exhibited the highest concentrations (55.4 ± 56.8 μg/m3) in the winter and lowest concentrations (25.1 ± 18.2 μg/m3) in the summer.Main findingIntroducing the PM2.5products from MASINGAR can significantly improve the performance of traditional models for surface PM2.5estimations by 7–20%.
