Correlation Analysis

Maps showing locations of highly correlatedmonitors, as defined in the MNA Report.
Monitors correlated above regression criteria (R2>0.8, average concentration within 10%, 15% for NO2)

Top 10 most highly correlated by parameter

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.
