This is a historical record of rain accumulated at various rain gauges throughout the City during the rain season, which typically runs from May 1- Sep 30. Readings are taken at 5 minute intervals, and updated daily. This data is QA/QC'd on an annual basis at the end of the calendar year at which time some adjustments may be made to the data. Users should keep in mind that data viewed before March 31 of the following year should be considered in a ‘raw’ state and may be subject to change. For current year, raw rainfall readings see Current Year Rainfall

This dataset makes historical air quality data accessible for various parameters at Calgary monitoring stations. The data is collected by the Calgary Region Airshed Zone and submitted to Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP). The data is delivered to the airdata warehouse, a central repository for Alberta's ambient air quality data via a web service provided by AEP. In this way, AEP provides access to quality controlled historical air quality data at its air quality stations.
In addition to air quality monitoring data, an Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is calculated hourly at certain monitoring stations. The AQHI is a simple way to interpret air quality conditions: it provides a number from 1 to 10+ which indicates the relative health risk associated with local air quality. The higher the number, the greater the health risk. Further information on the AQHI calculation is available at: https://www.alberta.ca/air-quality-health-index--calculation.aspx

This dataset demonstrates an optimal size of PV system to be installed on a rooftop area. It is an analysis of residential rooftops (excluding apartment complexes) to estimate a potential capacity of a PV installation. The analysis uses LiDAR data taken in 2018 to estimate solar irradiance and roof shape to estimate the number of 1m x 2m solar panels. This data is then used with PVWatts API created by NREL to estimate the annual AC generated per panel. Each address has one or more entries each representing a continuous area where panels could be installed.

This is a measure of the raw rain data accumulated at various rain gauges throughout the City during the rain season, which typically runs from May 1- Sep 30. Readings are taken at 5 minute intervals, and updated daily. This data is QA/QC'd on an annual basis at the end of the calendar year at which time some adjustments may be made to the data. Users should keep in mind that data viewed before March 31 of the following year should be considered in a ‘raw’ state and may be subject to change. Fully QAQC'd data is then made available in the Historical Rainfall dataset.

An extent of land covered by, intermittent and permanent, water bodies and watercourses. This includes both parcel bounding and non-parcel bounding occurrences. Includes the natural watercourses as follows: Bow River Elbow River Nose Creek West Nose Creek Fish Creek. This is a generalized version of the data set and is intended for cartographic purposes and faster drawing time.

Administrative grouping of Habitat polygons into Natural areas maintained by Calgary Parks or located on lands under Calgary Parks Stewardship.

This is a composite land cover layer created from multiple City data sources and compiled into a single seamless land cover layer in 2015. The final land cover layer was checked against the City of Calgary’s 2014 air photo at a minimum of 1:4000. Missing and/or overlapping areas were resolved manually and City parks were reviewed at 1:1000 resolution. The land cover dataset informs several City analyses, including a Habitat Condition Rating model to assess natural area park health and a structural wildlife connectivity model, where land cover resistance values act as the difficulty rankings for terrestrial wildlife movement. The dataset can also be used in analyses of open/park space contiguity.
