This data set contains daily air quality measurements in New York City, May to September of 1973. Four variables were measured: mean ozone in parts per billion from 1300 to 1500 hours at Roosevelt Island (denoted as Ozone), average wind speed in miles per hour at 0700 and 1000 hours at LaGuardia Airport (denoted as Wind), maximum daily temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at LaGuardia Airport (denoted as Temp), and solar radiation in Langleys in the frequency band 4000-7700 Angstroms from 0800 to 1200 hours at Central Park (denoted as Solar.R). The data set is available in R with the name airquality.
