Features
If the location tab is a near-real time network overview, the analysis tab is a deep dive into analysis of current and historic air quality. This page provides a plethora of powerful tools designed to help you draw meaningful insights and conclusions from your data - all while being really easy to use.
- Interactive graphs with customisable pollutant threshold lines.
- Averaged pollutant statistics and limit value exceedance counts.
- Meteorological data including detailed wind speed and direction plots, utilising high resolution modelled data.
- Easily save and load project views including your Zephyr® networks.
- Download air quality data for further analysis outside of MyAir.
You can view a click-through tour of the any page in MyAir using the Help button and then selecting “Tours”.
Running an analysis
Select your loading parameters using the four dropdowns.
Devices allows you to select Zephyrs and Virtual Zephyrs to load in data from.
Pollutants allows you to select specific pollutants to load. All pollutants are selected by default.
Time period allows you to select the region of data to load, and time average allows you to choose your preferred averaging period.
Click Run to load in air quality data. This may take a few seconds, depending on the parameters selected. More devices, longer time periods, and finer time averages will take slightly longer to return.
Viewing data
The Analysis page features three distinct ways of viewing data - Device, Network and Comparison. For more information, take a look at Using MyAir to analyse data with Views.
Saving and loading views
Honing exactly how you view data can take some time, and you may want to view data from different devices in different ways.
So we’ve developed one of MyAir’s most powerful features - the ability to save specific “views”. Saving a view allows MyAir to remember what devices you are viewing, over what time period and averaging, and with which view (device, network, or comparison).
This allows you to return to your commonly-used analyses at the press of the button.
Downloading data
There are lots of reasons you might want to download data - maybe to import into other analysis tools like Excel, PowerBI, or data-friendly programming languages like R or Python. MyAir makes it really easy to download large amounts of data in structured CSVs from any of the Analysis views using the “Download CSV” button. The CSV has a descriptive header in the first 9 rows.
