munich_pollen
Format
Time series of daily pollen concentrations expressed as pollen grains / m3 of air.
Details
Data were obtained at Munich (Zentrum Allergie und Umwelt, ZAUM) using a Hirst_type volumetric pollen trap (Hirst, 1952) following the standard methodology (VDI4252_4_2016). Some gaps have been added to test some functions of the package (e.g. quality_control, interpollen).
The data were obtained by the research team of Prof. Jeroen Buters (Christine Weil & Ingrid Weichenmeier). We specially acknowledge this team and the Zentrum Allergie und Umwelt (ZAUM, directed by Prof. Carsten B. Schmidt_Weber) for their support.
