Description
Real-time atmospheric pollutant measurements from an automatic monitoring station in Piedecuesta, Colombia, operated by the CDMB. The dataset includes concentrations of PM₁₀, PM₂.₅, SO₂, NO₂, O₃, CO, and TRS, alongside meteorological parameters for the first seven months of 2025. Each data point is accompanied by a detailed validation flag indicating its quality status, as per Colombian environmental regulations.
Use Cases
Analyzing temporal trends of pollutants like PM10 and O3 using FECHA Y HORA and DATOS VALIDOS columns for time-series forecasting.
Correlating air quality (DATOS VALIDOS SO2, DATOS VALIDOS NO2) with meteorological conditions (DATOS VALIDOS T, DATOS VALIDOS HR) to study dispersion patterns.
Implementing data quality pipelines by filtering records based on the detailed BANDERAS validation flags across multiple columns.
Comparing raw platform sensor readings (DATOS PLATAFORMA columns) with validated data (DATOS VALIDOS columns) for sensor performance analysis.
Strengths
Includes a detailed, multi-category validation flagging system (e.g., VA, IC, IR) for assessing data quality on a per-measurement basis.
Covers seven key atmospheric pollutants and complementary meteorological variables, as indicated by the column names.
Data is reported in real-time from an automatic station, suggesting potential for high temporal resolution.
Limitations
The dataset's row count and total size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and unit consistency require manual inspection after download.
The time range is limited to a seven-month period (January–July 2025), which may not capture full seasonal cycles.
