Description

These data and subsequent description are drawn from the spTimer package (version 0.7). This data set contains values of daily 8-hour maximum average ozone concentrations (ppb; O3.8HRMAX), maximum temperature (degree Celsius; cMAXTMP), wind speed (knots; WDSP), and relative humidity (RM), obtained from 28 monitoring sites in New York, USA, between July 1 and August 31 in 2006. Each row represents a station and columns hold consecutive daily values.

Usage

Format

Columns for NYdata:

• 1st col = Longitude

• 2nd col = Latitude

• 3rd col = X coordinates in UTM projection

• 4th col = Y coordinates in UTM projection

• 5th col = Ozone July 1 (O3.8HRMAX.1)

• 6th col = Ozone July 2 (O3.8HRMAX.2)

• ...

• 66th col = Ozone August 31 (O3.8HRMAX.62)

• remaining columns organize cMAXTMP, WDSP, and RH identical to the 62 O3.8HRMAX measurements
