Data visualization with RETIGO

Impact/Purpose:
Data visualization tools that are quick and easy to use, require no coding skills, and can be used with any type of sensor are in high demand. In addition to visualizing their own data, users often wish to compare the data they collect with other nearby data sources such as instruments that measure the same pollutants or wind measurements that can aid in the interpretation of the data. The REal TIme Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO) is a free, web-based visualization tool developed by U.S.EPA to offer these features. This presentation, offered as a training at the 2024 Air Sensors International Conference, session will introduce users to RETIGO as a quick data visualization tool and will review the new features included in the Version 4 update.
Description:
Data visualization tools that are quick and easy to use, require no coding skills, and can be used with any type of sensor are in high demand. In addition to visualizing their own data, users often wish to compare the data they collect with other nearby data sources such as instruments that measure the same pollutants or wind measurements that can aid in the interpretation of the data. The REal TIme Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO) is a free, web-based visualization tool developed by U.S.EPA to offer these features. Stationary or mobile user-supplied datasets containing time stamps, latitude and longitude locations, and pollutant/environmental variables can be imported from the user’s computer where it is retained and secure. The tool then uses a web-interface where data can be displayed on an interactive map and in graphs for analysis by clicking available options. In recent years, the tool has been enhanced with interface updates, more user control over display options, new plots, new public data sources for comparison, new satellite overlays for visualization, and export functions that support 3-D visualization. This training session will introduce users to RETIGO as a quick data visualization tool and will review the new features included in the Version 4 update.
