Australian source #36

Hourly data available here. No API found

RocketD0g commented 9 years ago

Just a comment: A colleague who works for an I/O on a global public health initiative has indicated that Australian data would be especially useful to aggregate and possibly useful to WHO Outdoor Air Quality database and the Global Burden of Disease.

Cool, I'll be on it @RocketD0g

O3 is both being reported in a 1 hour average, and a 4 hour rolling average. Which one do you prefer?

Also, how should we be handling 24 hour rolling averages? Should there be a note in the measurement? PM10 and PM2.5 are also reported as 24hr averages in the Dutch source.

That's fantastic!! Thanks!

Let's go with the shortest time resolution possible, if that sounds good to you guys - So the 1 hour O3 average.

For the 24 hr rolling averages, or, really, any time we have a mix of time resolutions, I guess we should just put a note in the measurements as you suggest. Let me know if this doesn't actually answer the question or is otherwise unclear/not useful. Or if there's perhaps a more systematic way we could be dealing with that...

OK, great.

Yes, this does answer my question. I've opened a separate issue for the averaging period.
