Historical Air Quality Data Austria Umweltbundesamt

This digital record contains historical air pollution and air quality data from approximately 20 air monitoring stations in Vienna, spanning the years from 1980 to 2021. The data was provided by the Umweltbundesamt and is stored in its original form in this record. This record forms the basis of an analysis carried out in a bachelor's thesis at the TU Wien.

The record is composed of three files:

1. Messdaten-Wien-1986-2021-für-TU.tar.gz: This .tar file contains the unmodified, raw historical air quality measurements gathered in Vienna.
2. Datenformat-für-TU.txt: This text file explains the structure of the data in the .tar file. It should be noted that the format rules defined in this file are those given to us by the Umweltbundesamt. However, these formats are not consistently adhered to throughout the dataset. Older data, in particular, exhibit different formats in terms of time notation, data separation characters, and other formatting elements.
3. Messstellen-Koordinaten-für-TU.xlsx: This Excel file provides additional information about each of the monitoring stations included in the data. For each station, you'll find details such as its name and physical location.
