title: AgrImOnIA: Open Access dataset correlating livestock and air quality in the Lombardy region, Italy

description: OBSOLETE VERSION - This is not the last update of the dataset, we strongly suggest to use the last version
The AgrImOnIA dataset is a comprehensive dataset relating air quality and livestock (expressed as the density of bovines and swine bred) along with weather and other variables. The AgrImOnIA Dataset represents the first step of the AgrImOnIA project. The purpose of this dataset is to give the opportunity to assess the impact of agriculture on air quality in Lombardy through statistical techniques capable of highlighting the relationship between the livestock sector and air pollutants concentrations.
The building process of the dataset is detailed in the companion paper:
A. Fassò, J. Rodeschini, A. Fusta Moro, Q. Shaboviq, P. Maranzano, M. Cameletti, F. Finazzi, N. Golini, R. Ignaccolo, and P. Otto (2023). Agrimonia: a dataset on livestock, meteorology and air quality in the Lombardy region, Italy. SCIENTIFIC DATA, 1-19.
available here.
This dataset is a collection of estimated daily values for a range of measurements of different dimensions as: air quality, meteorology, emissions, livestock animals and land use. Data are related to Lombardy and the surrounding area for 2016-2021, inclusive. The surrounding area is obtained by applying a 0.3° buffer on Lombardy borders.
The data uses several aggregation and interpolation methods to estimate the measurement for all days.
The files in the folder are:
Agrimonia_Dataset.csv(and .Rdata) which is built by joining the daily time series related to the AQ, WE, EM, LI and LA variables. In order to simplify access to variables in the Agrimonia dataset, the variable name starts with the dimension of the variable, i.e., the name of the variables related to the AQ dimension start with 'AQ_'. This file is archived also in the format for MATLAB and R software. 
Metadata_Agrimonia.csv which provides further information for the sources used, variables imported, transformations applied, and about the Agrimonia variables.
Metadata_AQ_imputation_uncertainty.csv which contains the daily uncertainty estimate of the imputed observation for the AQ to mitigate missing data in the hourly time series.  
Metadata_LA_CORINE_labels.csv which contains the label and the description associated with the CLC class.  
Metadata_monitoring_network_registry.csv which contains all details about the AQ monitoring station used to build the dataset. Information about air quality monitoring stations include: station type, municipality code, environment type, altitude, pollutants sampled and other. Each row represents a single sensor.
Metadata_LA_SIARL_labels.csv which contains the label and the description associated with the SIARL class.
The dataset can be reproduced using the code available at the GitHub page: https://github.com/AgrImOnIA-project/AgrImOnIA_Data
UPDATE 16/01/2023 - NEW RELEASE - V 2.0.0
A new version of the dataset is released, Agrimonia_Dataset_v_2_0_0.csv (.Rdata) and Metadata_monitoring_network_registry_v_2_0_0.csv. Some minor points have been addressed:

Added values for LA_land_use variable for Switzerland stations (in Agrimonia Dataset_v_2_0_0.csv)
Deleted incorrect values for LA_soil_use variable for stations outside Lombardy region during 2018 (in Agrimonia Dataset_v_2_0_0.csv)
Fixed duplicate sensors corresponding to the same pollutant within the same station (in Metadata_monitoring_network_registry_v_2_0_0.csv)
UPDATE 24/01/2023 - NEW RELEASE - V 2.0.1
minor bug fixed
UPDATE 11/03/2023 - NEW RELEASE - V 2.0.2
A new version of the dataset is released: Agrimonia_Dataset_v_2_0_2.csv (.Rdata), where variable WE_tot_precipitation have been recomputed due to some bugs.
A new version of the metadata is available: Metadata_Agrimonia_v_2_0_2.csv where the spatial resolution of the variable WE_precipitation_t is corrected
