Usage

BloomsburyOzoneMaxima

Format

BloomsburyOzoneMaxima is a data frame with 33 rows (years 1992 to 2024) and the 4 variables:

  • maxima: annual maximum ozone level in \(\mu\)g/m\(^3\).

  • notNA : the number of days of the year for which raw data were available.

  • n : the number of days in the year (365 or 366).

  • block : a block number of 1 for year 1992 through to 33 for year 2024.

The row names of BloomsburyOzoneMaxima are the years 1992:2024. The raw data are missing for approximately \(5\%\) of the days.
