Using INTAMAP

INTAMAP sample datasets

This page supplies several datasets which can be used to test the INTAMAP service. Some of the csv files have no header with column names, but take the form 'x-coordinate', 'y-coordinate', 'value', 'error [optional]'.

Using the simple web client, datasets with no error column will currently be handled using the 'automap' function of the INTAMAP WPS. Datasets with an error column will be handled using the 'psgp' function. These files may also be used as test cases for the INTAMAP API, where users may explicitly control the kriging option used.


Nitrogen Dioxide

Ground measurements: diffusion tube data for nitrogen dioxide.

Map showing the distribution of diffusion tubes across the UK

This dataset consists of 2213 point measurements, averaged over the course of the year 2007 from diffusion tube monitoring stations around the UK. The data is supplied by the UK National Air Quality Archive, and is Crown Copyright, but may be re-used if its source is acknowledged.

Units are microgrammes per cubic metre. The projection is British National Grid (EPSG 27700).

NB: the simple client requires pasted error values in the form of standard deviations (which are present in the csv files): however, the O&M document for this example converts these to variances (in the xml files).
