Overview

About

Maintained by Paolo MaranzanoCRAN page ↗

Contains functions for retrieving, managing, and analyzing air quality and weather data from the Regione Lombardia open database (https://www.dati.lombardia.it/). Data are collected by ARPA Lombardia (Lombardia Environmental Protection Agency), Italy, through its ground monitoring network (https://www.dati.lombardia.it/stories/s/auv9-c2sj). See the website https://www.arpalombardia.it/ for further information on ARPA Lombardia's activities and history. Data quality (e.g., missing values, extreme values, and graphical mapping) has been checked in collaboration with members of ARPA Lombardia's air quality control office. The package provides observations since 1989 (for weather) and 1968 (for air quality), and these data are updated daily by the regional agency. A full description of the package is available in the companion paper Maranzano \& Algieri (2024), "ARPALData: an R package for retrieving and analyzing air quality and weather data from ARPA Lombardia (Italy)", Environmental and Ecological Statistics, doi:10.1007/s10651-024-00599-6.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("ARPALData", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-arpaldata

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-ARPALData

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ARPALData

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
