Download, standardise and store air quality data from UK monitoring networks.

Data sources

Currently, Aeolus supports downloading data from the following networks:

• AURN (DEFRA's Automatic Urban and Rural Network)
• SAQN (Scottish Air Quality Network)

Data from regulatory networks is sourced via the Openair project (using RData files provided by each regulatory network). My thanks to David Carslaw and all other contributors (see Carslaw & Ropkin, 2012 for further information).

Data from Breathe London is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. For further information, see https://www.breathelondon.org.
