Coverage comparison with official stations

Hello everyone, first of all I’d like to thank the community, since you have a great project going here.

Some colleagues and myself recently published a paper in Atmospheric Pollution Research that made use of the Sensor.Community data (as well as data from OpenAQ).

It is mostly an overview of the coverage of low-cost sensors for air quality and advocates for how these sensor networks can complement the official sensors. I have seen in the forum that there is the constant battle for these “community based” measurements to be taken seriously, so hopefully this can help takes steps in the right direction.

I am quite keen to do more in-depth analysis of the data, and am excited to see that there is a lot of technically-minded people in the community! Hope you find this paper somewhat interesting.
