Description of monthly csv formatted files containing mobile observations aggregated into minute values on a .0005 latitude-longitude grid (~550 km). The fundamental (draft) parameters defining the aggregated statistics in these files are: 8 3-hour time intervals (0-3 MT, 3-6 MT, etc.) 9,100 grid squares at 0.005 degree latitude/longitude (~550 m) resolution defining the core area in Salt Lake County covered by the bus routes Reports are provided here only if at least 11 observations were made in the 3-h block within that specific grid square The current reasoning for this file format is as follows: While data are recorded at 5 sec intervals on buses and 2 seconds on Trax, the core sensors (temp, PM, and O3) have time responses longer than that (order minute). SLC city blocks are typically 200 m in length. Hence, observations are aggregated within 1-2+ typical blocks route sections in each direction Buses and Trains travel at speeds up to 30 m/s but typically are moving along routes at speeds of 5-15 m/s and stopping frequently.

Empty values indicate data not available Variabes. Time: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:00 LAT: Latitude LON: Longitude ROW,COL: location in the Salt Lake Valley defined by index values within a 91x100 0.005 resolution lat-lon grid ROW is longitude and COL is latitude. Further Grid information included below GSP: Onboard GPS-derived vehicle speed (m/s) SP: Vehicle speed derived from successive lat/lon locations (m/s) TT: External air temperature (C) inside radiation shield on top of vehicle TRH: External relative humidity (%) inside radiation shield on top of vehicle PM1: PM2.5, PM4, PM10. Particulate concentrations of differing sizes (ug/m^3). Particulate sensors installed vary over time. PM2.5 concentrations are typically available PRHI: RH inside particulate sensor. When external RH is high, particulate sensors Grid Information Corner coordinates of the grid are as follows: bot_left_lat = 40.45 bot_left_lon = -112.20 top_right_lat = 40.95 top_right_lon = -111.75 Companion csv files provide the longitude and latitude for each of the 91x100 grid squares longitude_005.csv latitude_005.csv Additional QC applied prior to aggregation A bus must report at least one of the following: Bus Top Temperature; O3, or PM2.5 Bus top temperatures set to nan if BTT<-30C or BTT>50C Bus reports from outside the grid domain not processed QA and Info Flags BGPF: Percentage of observations with Bus GPS Flag set to 1. 0%- there are no GPS flags set for any observations. 100%- every observation has GPS flag=1 GPS flag reflects multiple possible conditions, including GPS location uncertainty and proximity to the bus depot. BSPF: Percentage of observations with bus speed < 1 m/s. 0%- all speeds > 1 m/s. 100%- every observation has bus speed <1 m/sample BSPF is a single indicator of likelihood that the bus is enroute.However, the BSP percentiles provide more detail on the bus speed for that location/time interval Typically, the BSPF flag is more useful to detect stationary vehicles than the BGPF flag. O3F: Percentage of observations with O3 Flag set to 1. 0%- there are no O3 flags set for any observations. 100%- every observation has O3 flag=1 O3 flag of 1 indicates likelihood of flow rate issue or high temperature affecting measurements PMF: Percentage of observations with M Flag set to 1. 0%- there are no PM flags set for any observations. 100%- every observation has PM flag=1 PM flag of 1 indicates likelihood of flow rate issue or high external RH (>80%) that may affect measurements Variable Statistical Parameters (Variable suffixes) _CT: Count of observations for that grid square and time interval (11 is the minimum possible; a powered stationary vehicle may provide as many as 2160 observations in a 3h interval) _P01,_P10,_P25,_P50,_P75,_P90,_P99: Observation sample percentiles to define typical and extreme conditions Variables BSP: Bus speed (m/s). Direction information is not provided since the correspinding statistical metrics would be difficult to interpret BTRH: Bus Top Relative Humidity (%). Exterior relative humidity. PM may read heigher than environment if BTRH high (> 80%) BTT: Bus Top Temperature (C). Exterior temperature in non-aspirated shield (may read higher than environment if bus not moving) O3: Ozone concentration (ppb). If sensor temperature excessively high, then concentrations may be exactly half that observed PM2.5: PM2.5 concentration (ug/m3). PRHI: Relative humidity (%) interior to the sensor. When sensor detects RH > 35%, then heater turned on to attempt to maintain that RH. That often leads to PM2.5 concentration oscillations in moist environments as the heater cycles on/off to maintain that sensor RH
