Environmental Monitoring System (Historical to 31 July 2020)

Lake Macquarie City Council through its Smart Cities program of works collects environmental monitoring data using sensors on Council’s Community IoT Network. Data collected includes temperature, humidity, air quality (PM10, PM2.5, PM1, Carbon monoxide, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide), wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and solar radiation.\r\n\r\nThis historical dataset comes from Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) sensors. These sensors are built by an Australian company based in Perth, ARCS Group and were developed in partnership with the University of Technology, Sydney as part of the TULIP Project.\r\n\r\nData from these sensors was collected using Council's Community IoT LoRaWAN Network - The Things Network.\r\n\r\nNote: These sensors were still going through in the field testing. Data provided by these sensors is to be used as a guide only, in particular ozone, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide readings.\r\n
