Schools Weather and Air Quality (SWAQ) –Metadata – Urban Network, Sydney (NSW)
<p>Schools Weather and Air Quality (SWAQ) is a citizen science project funded by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science as part of its Inspiring Australia - Citizen Engagement Program. SWAQ is equipping public schools across Sydney with research-grade meteorology and air quality sensors, enabling students to collect and analyse research quality data through curriculum-aligned classroom activities.</p> <p>The network includes twelve automatic weather stations and seven automatic air quality stations, stretched from -33.5995° to -34.0424° latitude and from 150.6918° to 151.2706° longitude. The average spacing is 10.2 km and the average installation height is 2.5 m above ground level. Six meteorological parameters (dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, rain, wind speed, and wind direction) and six air pollutants (SO2, NO2, CO, O3, PM2.5, and PM10) are recorded via Vaisala WXT 536 and Vaisala AQT 420 with a 20 minutes sampling frequency. </p> <p>SWAQ data provides urban canopy layer observations of the intra-urban heterogeneity and inter-parameter dependency of all major urban climate and air quality variables, valuable across diverse urban disciplines. SWAQ stations are located where there are gaps in existing government networks, and focus on Sydney’s western suburbs, where the highest urbanization rate is taking place, to better inform future urban planning. QC procedures are designed to ensure observations of extreme episodes are not excluded. Beyond research purposes, SWAQ is a citizen-centered network, conceived to promote valuable STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) skills among citizens and students.</p> <p>This collection includes the metadata files for all SWAQ stations, in pdf. Metadata describe the site (type, geographic coordinates, elevation, orographic setting, representativeness, local climatic zone, dominant land use, percent land cover, mean tree and building heights, proximity to water/heat and pollutants sources/sinks, estimation of Davenport Roughness, traffic density, sky view factor), and the instrumentation (variables, models, manufacturers, calibration and installation dates). Site characteristics are described at three radial scales: 20 km, 500 m, and 50 m. Graphical representations include: satellite images, street-view maps, cardinal direction photographs, panoramic photos, and close-up photos of sensors, solar panels, and connections. Optimum site allocation was determined by undertaking a multi-criteria weighted overlay analysis to ensure data representativeness and quality. All SWAQ sensors are installed:</p> <ul> <li>in homogenous urban regions, without sections of anomalous variation in the regional urban makeup and aspect-ratio, and without large, concentrated heat/pollution sources or sinks;</li> <li>in areas falling into the WMO Class 4 with no electromagnetic sources that could have distorted the transmission;</li> <li>at a constant height of 2 - 3.5 m above ground level.</li> </ul> <p>The actual data is available from the Australian Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) <a href="https://https://portal.tern.org.au/schools-weather-air-sydney-nsw/22077">data portal</a> and is regularly updated. The data available from TERN has undergone a rigorous quality check routine before upload.</p> <ul> <li>Calibration: Sensors and gateways are calibrated and tested by Vaisalain controlled conditions </li> <li>Quality Assurance: Annual maintenance log</li> <li>Quality control: continuity tests, fixed range tests (on both physical and instrumental limits), dynamic range and step tests (both performed on a monthly basis), internal consistency tests (on known atmospheric relations) and persistence tests. </li> </ul> <p>The files are in csv format. On the <a href="https://www.swaq.org.au">SWAQ website</a> a non quality controlled subset is available for educational purposes only.</p> <p>This project was funded by an Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, Inspiring Australia – Science Engagement Program: Citizen Science Grants (CSG56028).</p> <p>It was also part of the Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes research project "Attribution & Risk".</p> <p>More information is available in the readme file, in particular a full list of the variables and a legend for the quality flags used.</p>
TURDATA: a database of low-cost air quality and remote sensing measurements for the validation of micro-scale models in the real Prague urban environments
<p><strong>README</strong></p> <p>TURDATA is a supplementary data set for the TURBAN project Prague observation campaign described in the manuscript Bauerová et al. 2024 (submitted for publication). The measurement campaign was focused on air pollution and meteorological measurement, including vertical profiles in selected part of Prague city centre called here as Legerova domain. Within this area, one professional meteorological station (MS) Prague Karlov and one reference traffic air quality monitoring (AQM) station Prague 2-Legerova (classified as traffic hotspot) are located. To gain high spatial and temporal resolution data, the supplementary measurement network was established, which consisted of:</p> <p>- 20 combined low-cost sensor (LCS) stations for monitoring of PM<sub>10</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>3</sub> concentrations (using Plantower PMS7003 particle counters and Envea Cairsense electrochemical sensors) placed in different sites and different height levels AGL (higher = H, lower = L),</p> <p>- 1 mobile telescopic meteorological mast for measuring temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and direction and air pressure (using 2D ultrasonic anemometer Gill WindSonic 60 and weather station Gill MetConnect THP),</p> <p>- 1 MTP-5-He microwave radiometer (MWR; Attex) for temperature vertical profile,</p> <p>- 1 StreamLine XR Doppler LIDAR (HALO Photonics) for wind vertical profile. </p> <p>The main Legerova campaign lasted from 30 May 2022 to 28 March 2023 with some exceptions (see <em>TURDATA_metadata.xlsx</em> with all details). Because LCSs are known for their highly variable measurement quality, before their deployment the Legerova campaign, a sufficiently long-term initial field comparative measurement of all LCSs at RM Prague 4-Libuš was carried out (lasting from 16/12/2021 to 30/5/2022). The results showed that most of the LCSs were in raw measurement differently zero-shifted against each other and against gaseous reference or aerosol optical equivalent monitors (RMs or EMs). Therefore, the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) method was applied to calculate corrected LCS concentrations based on initial field comparative measurement complemented by meteorological data from MS Prague Libuš. To check the quality of raw and MARS corrected LCS concentrations at the end of the measurement campaign, the final comparative field measurement of all LCSs at Prague 4-Libuš RM station was performed.</p> <p>Therefore, in case of LCSs measurement (both raw and corrected) the important columns of location (measurement placement: RM_Prague_4-Libus and Legerova_domain) and measurement_program (Initial_comparative_measurement, Legerova_campaign and Final_comparative_measurement) were added.</p> <p>In case of PM<sub>10</sub> and PM<sub>2.5</sub> measurement the maximum raw and MARS-corrected concentrations were influenced by temporary pollution episode on 26 July 2022 around 4 a.m. and 9 p.m. (both UTC) caused by aerosol pollution transported from large forest fire in Hřensko (the northern part of the Czech Republic). </p> <p> </p> <p>TURDATA includes the following files:</p> <p>1. <strong>TURDATA_metadata_and_photos.zip</strong> containing:</p> <p>- "<em>TURDATA_metadata.xlsx</em>" with the important list of metadata about devices placement, locations parameters and measurement periods</p> <p>- Folder "<em>Photos_from_Legerova_campaign</em>" with photos from Legerova measurement campaign</p> <p>2. <strong>AQ_LCSs_raw_measurement_TURDATA.zip</strong> containing:</p> <p>- "<em>NO2_RAW_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of NO<sub>2</sub> raw measured concentrations by all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>O3_RAW_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of O<sub>3</sub> raw measured concentrations by all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>PM10_RAW_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of PM<sub>10</sub> raw measured concentrations by all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>PM2_5_RAW_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of PM<sub>2.5</sub> raw measured concentrations by all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>AQ_LCSs_raw_measurement_TURDATA_readme.txt</em>" with all necessary information for correct data use</p> <p>3. <strong>AQ_data_RM_stations_Prague_TURDATA.zip</strong> containing:</p> <p>- "<em>AQ_data_Prague_RM_stations_TURDATA_12-2021_06-2023.xlsx</em>" with air quality data measured by reference AQM stations in Prague</p> <p>- "<em>AQ_data_RM_stations_Prague_TURDATA_readme.txt</em>" with all necessary information for correct data use</p> <p>4. <strong>Meteo_data_Prague_MS_TURDATA.zip</strong> containing:</p> <p>- "<em>Meteo_data_Prague_MS_TURDATA_12-2021_06-2023.xlsx</em>" with meteorological data measured by professional meteorological stations in Prague</p> <p>- "<em>Meteo_data_Prague_MS_TURDATA_readme.txt</em>" with all necessary information for correct data use</p> <p>5. <strong>AQ_LCSs_MARS-corrected_measurement_TURDATA.zip</strong> containing:</p> <p>- "<em>NO2_COR_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of NO<sub>2</sub> MARS-corrected concentrations for all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>O3_COR_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of O<sub>3</sub> MARS-corrected concentrations for all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>PM10_COR_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of PM<sub>10</sub> MARS-corrected concentrations for all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>PM2_5_COR_LCSs_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with complete data set of PM<sub>2.5</sub> MARS-corrected concentrations for all LCSs</p> <p>- "<em>AQ_LCSs_MARS-corrected_measurement_TURDATA_readme.txt</em>" with all necessary information for correct data use and brief description of MARS correction method</p> <p>6. <strong>Meteo-mast_PVK_measurement_TURDATA.zip</strong> containing:</p> <p>- "<em>Meteo-mast_PVK_TURDATA_06-2022_06_2023.xlsx</em>“ with non-referential meteorological data measured by mobile meteo-mast</p> <p>- "<em>Meteo-mast_data_PVK_TURDATA_readme.txt</em>" with all necessary information for correct data use</p> <p>7. <strong>MWR_temperature_profile_TURDATA.zip</strong> containing:</p> <p>- "<em>MWR_5min_temperature_TURDATA_02-2022_03-2023.xlsx</em>" with raw temperature vertical profile measurement from microwave radiometer</p> <p>- "<em>MWR_1hour_temperature_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with 1-hour averaged temperature vertical profile from microwave radiometer</p> <p>- "<em>MWR_1hour_TMP_gradient_TURDATA.xlsx</em>" with 1hour temperature gradient calculated from raw temperature profiles measured by microwave radiometer</p> <p>- "<em>MWR_temperature_profile_TURDATA_readme.txt</em>" with all necessary information for correct data use</p> <p>8. <strong>LIDAR_wind_profile_TURDATA.zip</strong> contains:</p> <p>- Individual folders "yyyymm“ -> "yyyymmdd"</p> <p>- Each daily folder "yyyymmdd" contains files:</p> <p>a) "<em>Processed_Wind_Profile_188_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.hpl</em>" with processed WV and WS data</p> <p>b) "<em>Wind_Profile_188_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.hpl</em>" with non-processed Doppler wind profile data</p> <p>- "<em>LIDAR_wind_profile_TURADATA_readme.txt</em>" with all necessary information for correct data use</p>

Impact on energy and air quality of connected and autonomous vehicles in an urban context
<p>Despite numerous studies related to autonomous vehicles and connected vehicles (CAVs) and their impact on the economy or on traffic performance (eg, flow management, accidents), there are not many studies that relate these benefits to the environmental component. In this context, the objective of this work consisted in the integrated assessment of the impacts of CAVs on traffic performance, atmospheric emissions CO<sub>2</sub> and NO<sub>x, </sub>and air quality.</p> <p>To this end, a roundabout in the city of Aveiro was selected as a case study, and different scenarios were created: base scenario, considering the current typology of vehicles (conventional); scenario 2, considering defensive behavior CAVs; scenario 3, considering assertive behavior CAVs; and scenario 1, considering all types of vehicles mentioned above. To ensure a comprehensive analysis, all scenarios were evaluated for a period of 24 hours, corresponding to the period of the experimental campaign carried out, and a cascade of models was applied.</p> <p>First, the PTV VISSIM model was applied which allowed, configuring, calibrating and validating the network under study for an evaluation of the traffic performance. Second, the VSP model was applied to estimate atmospheric emissions, Finally, the CFD VADIS model was applied to air quality assessment.</p> <p>The results obtained allowed us to conclude that the introduction of CAVs, promotes longer travel times, especially during times of higher traffic, and an increase in emissions, mainly by the CAVs with defensive behavior. In terms of air quality, there were large differences in terms of NO<sub>2</sub> concentrations, with the CAVs promoting a degradation of air quality, especially during peak traffic hours.</p>
