Abstract
sensor in Taiwan. The study carried out a field calibration that collecting both measurements of low-cost sensors and the regulatory stations, and investigated the space/time bias between the low-cost sensors and regulatory stations. Results show that the proposed approach can explain the variability of the biases from the low-cost sensors with R-square of 0.76. In addition, the present calibration model can quantify the uncertainty of the low-cost sensors observations and the average standard deviation is about 13.85% with respect to its adjusted levels. This operational spatiotemporal data calibration approach provides an useful information for local communities and governmental agency to face the new era of IoT sensor for air quality monitoring.
