NO, NO2, SO2: Daily mean concentration of NO, NO2 , SO2, in \mu g/m^3
T.min, T.max, T.moy: Daily minimum, maximum and mean temperature, in degree Celsius
DV.maxvv, DV.dom: Daily maximum speed and dominant wind direction, in degree (for wind direction, 0 degree corresponds to north)

Details

Six different monitoring stations of the Rouen (Haute Normandie, France) area are considered. The urban station jus, the traffic station gui, the second most polluted in the region, and gcm which is located in an industrial area. In Le Havre, are considered the stations rep (the most polluted in the region) and hri located at the seaside. Lastly, the station ail near Dieppe, because it is rural and coastal, and a priori hardly influenced by social and industrial activity. Grouping by categories: jus and hri are background urban monitoring sites, gui and rep are urban sites close to traffic, gcm is industrial and ail is rural.
