Air Quality Monitoring - 2012
type: Dataset
description: Annual hourly air quality and meteorological data by monitoring site for the 2012 calendar year. For more information on Air Quality including live air data, please visit environment.des.qld.gov.au/air. Data resolution: One hour average values Data row timestamp: Start of averaging period Missing data/not monitored: Blank cell Calm conditions: No hourly average wind direction is reported when the hourly average wind speed is zero Daily zero/span response check: Automated instrument zero/span response checks are conducted daily between midnight and 1:00am. Where this takes place, an ambient hourly value cannot be reported. Sampling height: 4 metres above ground level (unless otherwise indicated) Please Note: This dataset was updated on 02 May 2018 to include the following additional sites: Abbot Point (Bowen) Pinkenba Stuart Wynnum North Please Note: The following sites were updated on 02 May 2018 to correct an error identified in the data.
