1. Data Set Description:

This data set contains 5-minute air quality measurements collected in Texas during Aug/Sep 2000 at 85 continuous ambient monitoring stations (CAMS) during the Texas Air Quality Study 2000 (TEXAQS2000). The monitoring and data requirements conform to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, parts 53 and 58. Measurements include carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), total reactive nitrogen species (NOy), ozone, particulate matter (PM2.5 mass), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), wind speed, wind direction, maximum wind gust, air temperature, dewpoint temperature, humidity, precipitation, surface pressure, radiation, and visibility. CAMS are operated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), local city or country governments, or private monitoring networks.

Important monitoring site information

The site information data table in each of the 85 data files may not contain the latest TCEQ site information.

2. Sample Data Record/Data Format:

Data files are in the NARSTO Data Exchange Standard (DES) format that is described in detail on the NARSTO Quality Systems Science Center (QSSC) web site [http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/programs/NARSTO/]. The files follow a tabular layout and are stored as ASCII comma-separated values files (.csv). The DES does not rely on row position to identify specific information, but uses a tag to describe the information contained in the row. The DES is a self-documenting format with three main sections: the header contains information about the contents of the file and the data originator; the middle section contains metadata tables that describe/define sites, flags, and other codified fields; and the final section is the main data table that contains key sampling and analysis information and the data values. Descriptions of the standardized metadata fields are also available on the QSSC web site.

Important monitoring site information: Please see note above regarding TCEQ monitoring site data.
