Query Builder for Monitor and Modeled Data - Annual Average Concentration of PM2.5 (mcg/m3)

Getting Started

* Follow the steps to select the geography and time period. * Use the last step, "How to display the data," to choose HOW TO GROUP your results and to make map and graph choices.
* When you are done selecting your query criteria, click "Submit" to get your query result.

  • Selecting Geography

    Select the geographic areas you want to include. Hold down the control (ctrl) key to make multiple selections.
    Select geographic area(s). (Default is all counties.)

  • Selecting years

    Select a range of years. Use Ctrl to make multiple selections.

    The year groupings you select here will be used to display your results if you choose "year" below in the display the results step. For instance, if you choose "Single years" here, and choose "Year/Year Groups" in the display the results step, your query results will be displayed for single years, for the range of years you selected. If you select "3-year groups", "5-year groups" or if you enter custom year groups, your query results will be aggregated within those year groups.
    Select years.

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls the ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns. Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified.

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. All other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Optional map graph

Defines the optional map graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is set to a geographical area and does not have a series defined.
