Montreal Urban Greening Impact Temperature and Humidity Measurements

10 summers of data from 15 monitoring stations installed across Montreal to study the impact of greening projects on urban heat. The dataset supports research into mitigating extreme heat effects on public health and urban planning. Measurements target air temperature and humidity variables.

Use Cases

• Analyze air temperature and humidity time series from 15 stations to quantify the cooling effect of urban greening projects.
• Model the relationship between station location, greening interventions, and recorded temperature to inform city planning.
• Use station data to validate urban heat island models and assess climate adaptation strategies for Montreal.

Strengths

• Data collection spans 10 summers, providing longitudinal insight into seasonal heat patterns.
• Spatial coverage includes 15 monitoring stations distributed across the City of Montreal.
• Explicit focus on measuring the impact of greening projects on specific environmental variables.

Limitations

• Unknown sample size and row count limits statistical modeling potential.
• Data scope is limited to Montreal, reducing generalizability to other urban environments.
• Absence of detailed column descriptions hinders immediate understanding of data structure.
