Frontiers | Moving from monitoring to real-time interventions for air quality: are low-cost sensor networks ready to support urban digital twins?

🏙️💨 🛜 Are low-cost sensor networks ready to support urban digital twins?

Our research shows how IoT low-cost sensors are transforming air quality monitoring but without better data management their full potential can’t be realised. 🌍📊

Now that everyone has their annual temperature data out, here is a quick summary across groups.

In addition to record warmth in every dataset, it's the first year where most estimates are at least 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) warmer than the 1850-1900 baseline.
