Electric Field Intensity Measurements from Colombian Monitoring Stations

Electric field intensity measurements recorded by Colombia's National Spectrum Agency (ANE) to monitor public exposure limits. Data consists of RMS electric field intensity values averaged over six-minute intervals, collected by isotropic probes at monitoring stations. The dataset was updated with regulatory changes through November 1, 2023.

Use Cases

• Assess compliance with exposure limits by comparing the `intensidad_campo` and `porcentaje_intensidad_campo` columns against the `máximo_permitido` value for each `ciudad`.
• Analyze temporal trends in electromagnetic field intensity by modeling the `intensidad_campo` over the `fecha_medicion` time series.
• Map spatial variations in field intensity using the `georreferencia` and `ubicacion_sonda` columns to identify high-exposure zones.
• Correlate field intensity measurements with specific frequency bands (100 kHz to 8 GHz) as defined by the monitoring protocol for source attribution studies.

Strengths

• Measurements follow the strict UIT-T K.83 recommendation, ensuring standardized data collection.
• Data covers a broad radio frequency spectrum from 100 kHz to 8 GHz, relevant for analyzing emissions from diverse sources.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Specific geographic coverage within Colombia is not detailed beyond the `ciudad` column.
