Editorial statement
This Data description paper provides an integrated bioaerosol dataset based on a large-scale dust–bioaerosol field campaign conducted across 45 stations in East Asia. It uses unified sampling and analytical methods in sites across China, Japan, South Korea, and Mongolia. Moreover, the in situ data are key to determining relationships with widely-used satellite products. It is a unique dataset of high value to the community and high potential reusability.

Short summary
Bioaerosols exert significant influences on climate, the environment, ecosystems, and public health. This study establishes an integrated bioaerosol dataset across East Asia using unified sampling and analytical methods. It was found that bioaerosol concentrations are negatively correlated with local Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and their relationship with atmospheric temperature is nonlinear. The α-diversity indices were negatively correlated with NDVI.
