R scripts to calculate the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) for B.C. published on Environmental Reporting BC
I assume we want to have the data for all four metrics in the BC Data Catalogue, and that they should be relatively standardized.
With that assumption, I have some questions regarding what these standard presentations should be:
Which columns do we want? Should I use PM 2.5 as the template (omitting instrument and instrument_type for the other metrics?)
Ozone has airzone ambient and management together, PM2.5 has them separate - Which should it be?
The code uses lat/lon, is this good, or should Latitude/Longitude be used?
Ozone has something called "based_on_incomplete".
Should we omit or keep this? If keep, what is it based on? Does it apply to any other metrics?
Should Ambient Airzone columns have "_ambient" appended or not? (e.g. rep_stn_id or rep_stn_id_ambient?)
