Dataset Overview

Name: MIL‑QUALAIR

Purpose: Urban air pollution prediction for the Milan metropolitan area, integrating Sentinel‑5P satellite observations, meteorological data, terrain features, and ground‑station measurements.

Temporal Range: 2018‑2023

Coverage Area: Milan metropolitan region

Primary Pollutants: PM10, PM2.5, NO2, O3, SO2

Dataset Details

Description

The dataset combines multiple sources, including Sentinel‑5 satellite observations, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, land‑cover information, weather records, and ground measurements, to facilitate prediction of the five main pollutants.

Sources

• Sentinel 5P: ESA Copernicus Sentinel‑5p mission
• DEM: Copernicus
• Weather: Visual Crossing Weather
• Land Cover: Copernicus Land Monitoring Service – Urban Atlas
• Ground Observations: Milan Open Data Portal

Structure

• Sentinel 5P: sentinel5.csv – Daily Sentinel‑5P satellite band readings
• DEM: dem.tiff – 10 m resolution digital elevation model for the Milan area
• Weather: weather.csv – Daily weather variable measurements
• Land Cover: land_cover/land_cover.tiff – Land‑cover classification map; land_cover/land_cover_taxonomy.json – Class‑label mapping; land_cover/land_cover_mapping.json – Land‑cover class mapping
• Ground Observations: stations.csv – Daily station measurements for the five supported pollutants

Use Cases

Primarily used to develop air‑pollution prediction models. By integrating the various data sources, users can build a comprehensive feature set for more accurate forecasting of the five supported pollutants.
