Hyperlocal Urban Heat Data with a Mobile Platform

This document provides expanded definitions, units, and more information on the data provided in the .CSV files collected using the City Scanner platform, MIT Senseable City Lab over the year 2021. The data was collected as part of the Stockholm Heat project.

Data Fields

time: The time field is in Unix time and can be converted to local time with a simple script or using online tools.

latitude, longitude: The latitude and longitude readings from the devices are determined via GPS and given in degrees for projected corrdinates.

temperature: Ambient temperature reading in degrees Celsius.

humidity: Ambient relative humidity reading in percentage

tmst: Mean surface temperature of vertical surfaces of the sidewalk

Ambient temerature and ambient relative humidity is collected with a Bosch BME 280 sensor. Mean surface temperature is collected with a Melexis MLX90614 IR sensor.
