Using MyAir® to analyse data with Views

Learn how to get started with the powerful tools in MyAir’s Analysis page

How to use Views

MyAir’s Analysis page features three distinct ways to view loaded data. For more information on how to load in data, how to save views and download data to your computer, see Getting started with Analysis

You can view a click-through tour of the any page in MyAir using the Help button and then selecting “Tours”.

Device View

On loading data in Analysis you’ll be taken to the device view. This is the most detailed look at an individual sensor. The loaded devices are selectable in the toolbar at the top of the page. The view includes:

  1. An interactive and scrollable timeseries of all species recorded over the entire period, with separate plotting panes for particulates and gases.
  1. Plots for temperature and humidity as measured by the Zephyr, along with modeled wind and rainfall data. Devices with peripheral meteorological stations will display measured wind and rainfall data instead of modeled data.
  1. A map pane for a quick view of the device's location and its surrounding area.
  1. A pollutant averages table showing measurement data averaged over the selected time period.

Network View

The network view gives insights into all selected Zephyrs at once, allowing you to view averages across a whole network or a subset of a network. Similarly to the device view the network view presents timeseries plots of gases and particulates as well of a table of averages, maxima and minima, but all data here corresponds to the entire group of sensors.

This is incredibly useful for an overview of levels and trends across a city or region, without being complicated by the nuances of measurements on any one particular sensor.

The network view is perfect for answering questions like… - Which of my monitoring sites is most polluted? - What time of the day sees the highest peaks, on average? - Are my monitoring sites broadly similar or very different to each other? - What are the average concentrations across all my sites?

Comparison View

Viewing data using the Comparison View

The comparison view on MyAir’s Analysis tab allows you to form a detailed comparison between a subset of Zephyrs in your network. These comparisons can be incredibly important to understand specific variations - or similarities - between Zephyrs in your network. You can select Zephyrs to be compared in the toolbar.

The comparison view is perfect for answering questions like… - Does Zephyr X see the same trends as Zephyr Y? - Are peaks higher on Zephyr X or Zephyr Y?

4️⃣
We’ve limited the number of devices able to be compared at one time to 4. In testing, we found that adding more sensors to the comparison made the data much harder to read. If you need to compare more Zephyrs, we’d recommend downloading the data and using a plotting tool of your choice.
