Hourly Ozone Updates

These are hourly-average ozone data for today from RAPCA's 6 ozone monitors, however, only the monitor at Site 615 (Preble Co.) is run all year. The other ozone monitors are run only during the official ozone season, April - October.

Data are updated hourly, all day, at about a quarter past the hour, but note that the hourly times listed are Eastern Standard.

NOTE: The running 8-hour averages shown represent the average of the currently shown hour with the 5 to 7 valid PREVIOUS hours. In other words, they are the "backward-looking" most recent 8-hour averages. (An 8-hour average is regarded as being valid if it has 6 or more valid hourly readings in it.) Officially, according to the USEPA, the 8 hour average for a specific hour is the "forward-looking" average of that hour with the following 5 to 7 valid hours, but we find such a representation confusing in a table like this one. Thus you will find here, that at 2pm, you will see the most recent 8-hour average as of 2pm regardless of the fact that that average actually "belongs" to the 7am time slot (7+8+9+10+11+12+1+2) according to USEPA policy.

Caution
These data have NOT been subjected to quality control. You must treat all values as tentative until officially approved and entered into the AIRS database. Be especially wary of any flagged values (values followed by any symbols at all.)
