The Urban Flows Observatory Sheffield (UFlowS) |
|
The Sheffield Urban Flows Observatory (the Observatory) has been
collecting data around Sheffield from sensors which measure
meteorological conditions, air quality, traffic, etc. since 2018. All data archived is available to users in the form of Raw Instrumental Data (RID) and Daily Summaries (DS) through two web based tools: The Portal, designed for human users to explore, using a map, the location of instruments, locate individual resources of interest and do quick data visualisation and data retrieval. The Data Extraction Tool (DXT) designed for humans and bots; it allows the retrieval of large data volumes which may cover long periods of time. Both Portal and DXT's main selection filter is the period of time covered. Users must indicate the initial date of interest and the last date of interest. Default values are provided. Data is organised by views, each containing a subset of all instruments available. We do this to speed up the access to data. A list of all public views follows. An in depth description of how the Portal and the DXT work is found in this PDF document Contact us at urbanflows@sheffield.ac.uk |
