Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and atmospheric pressure. It is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere and is influenced by factors such as the sun's intensity, the Earth's rotation, and the distribution of land and water on the planet.
Wind Speed: The speed at which the wind is blowing, typically measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
Wind Degress: The direction from which the wind is blowing, measured in degrees clockwise from true north.
Temperature (temp): The degree of hotness or coldness of the atmosphere, usually measured in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
MInimum Temperature (min_temp): The lowest temperature recorded during a specific period, typically over a 24-hour period.
Maximum Temperature (max_temp): The highest temperature recorded during a specific period, typically over a 24-hour period.
Humidity: The amount of water vapor present in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount that the air could hold at the same temperature.
Sunset: The time of day when the upper limb of the sun disappears below the horizon.
Sunrise: The time of day when the upper limb of the sun appears above the horizon.
Feels Like: The perceived temperature by the human body, which takes into account the actual air temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
Air Quality refers to the condition of the air within our surroundings, specifically with respect to the presence of pollutants and other harmful substances. It is determined by the concentration of various pollutants in the air, such as particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide. Poor air quality can have adverse effects on human health, the environment, and the economy. Monitoring and maintaining good air quality are essential for ensuring the well-being of both humans and the ecosystem.
Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5): These are measured using specialized instruments that can capture and weigh particles in the air. The concentration is then calculated as the mass of particles per unit volume of air (µg/m³).
Ozone (O3): Ozone monitoring is often done using ultraviolet (UV) photometry. The concentration is calculated based on the amount of UV light absorbed by the ozone in the air, usually reported in parts per billion (ppb).
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): NO2 can be measured using chemiluminescence. The concentration is determined by the amount of light emitted when NO2 reacts with ozone, and it is reported in parts per billion (ppb).
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): SO2 is often measured using ultraviolet fluorescence. The concentration is calculated based on the fluorescence emitted when SO2 absorbs UV light, reported in parts per billion (ppb).
Carbon Monoxide (CO): CO monitoring can be done using nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy. The concentration is calculated based on the absorption of infrared light by CO molecules, reported in parts per million (ppm).
