Correlation Analysis

Maps showing monitors correlated to other monitors at R2>0.8.
O3 NO2 PM2.5
Tabular data Monitor Correlation Tables


Monitor-to-monitor correlation analysis Plot Archive
Plot Archive file name convention: monitor1_monitor2_parameter_R_D_N.png, where monitor1 and monitor2 are the IDs for the monitors being compared, parameter is monitored parameter, R is the correlation coefficient, D is the distance (km) between monitor pairs, and N is the number of data points in the comparison.


Correlograms Plot Archive
Plot Archive file name convention: parameter_airshed_n.png, for example NO2_2_250.png refers to correlograms for NO2 monitors in airshed #2 using monitor pairs with at least 250 (n>=250) data points for comparison. Plots with "dw" have an inverse distance weighting function applied to the curve fit.
