Impact/Purpose:
Data visualization tools are in high demand. Users often wish to visualize data they collect, compare it with other nearby data sources, and create graphs and calculate metrics that can aid in the interpretation of the data. EPA has developed two tools to assist users with these tasks - The REal TIme Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO) and sensortoolkit. RETIGO is a free, web-based visualization tool which requires no coding and allows users to select available options with the click of a button. Sensortoolkit is a Python code library with a robust data ingestion module designed to creates sensor performance testing reports where sensor data are directly compared to a collocated reference monitor. This presentation, offered at 2024 National Tribal Forum on Air Quality will provide an overview of both tools.
Description:
U.S. EPA released two free tools to help users visualize their air data. REal TIme Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO) is an easy to use, web-based tool which requires no coding skills and can be used with any type of measurement device. Users can visualize their data and compare it with nearby data sources. RETIGO displays data on an interactive map and in graphs. This presentation introduces users to RETIGO, and reviews 2024 updated features. This session also introduces sensortoolkit, a public Python package. Sensortoolkit creates sensor performance testing reports where sensor data are directly compared to a collocated reference monitor using visualizations (e.g., time series and correlation plots) and standardized metrics. One key feature is the data ingestion module which harmonizes data with unique data formats.
