Good evening, Would it be possible to add measuring stations available on the openaq.org website but not in the layer? A similar issue appeared 10 months ago. I am particularly interested in Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and North Macedonia. Thank you
Thank you.
Bosnia, Serbia, and Kosovo are current. Montenegro hasn't had an update since March and North Macedonia hasn't had an update since September.
We'll check this out and see what is going on...thank you for alerting us!
Clicking on point locations bring up wrong data in the pop up. For example. I click on the two stations on the map between Leiden and Den Haag in Netherlands, and the details in the pop ups are for Mexico. Zacatecas in Mexico gives info for a station in the Maldives. The station in the Maldives shows info for Kazakhstan.
(this happens in Edge but not Chrome)
Would it be possible to add measuring stations that are available on the openaq.org website but not in the layer? Thank you
New stations are in. Thank you very much.
We made some revisions to the feed routine. Picked up over 1,400 stations that were ignored because they do not have an ID. Counts are looking good across the globe for stations having a PM1, PM10, or PM25 value within the past 30 days. Take a look and let me know what you think.
Any chance of including available stations from the Western Balkans (Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria) soon? Thank you
Narrowing this down, I can see that 58 stations have had data updates in the past 30 days.
I can confirm that out of the 103 stations in Bosnia, we are only picking up 38. Investigating why!
Our feed developer is reviewing the roadblocks now. We know that not all of the sensors include a location, but we don't have a count on that yet. I'll review the AOIs you mentioned and see if there are any hang-ups with them specifically.
I am particularly interested in Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Croatia and North Macedonia. They are way more available on the website than in the layer. Tnx.
Reviewing this now to see if/where we are missing stations. Thanks!
The description says that it includes PM2.5, PM10, and PM1 layers, but the Layers section of the item details currently lists three point layers called Air Quality - PM10, Air Quality - PM10, and Air Quality - PM1. Where is PM2.5?
Thank you!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The layers’ titles have been updated to accurately describe the data. These layers are (1) Air Quality – PM2.5, (2) Air Quality – PM10, and (3) Air Quality PM1.
Hi! It seems like the layer has not updated since June 15, 2022. Can you please take a look? Thanks!
This service has been added to the Live Feed Status Page so it can be monitored.
The obstruction has been cleared and the service should return to it's normal hourly update! Thank you for the heads up!
