But actually, I've been thinkign about this, due to the restrictions on traffic in Bergen lately. And I would have loved to see three measurements compared: Pollution, traffic and weather (like wind or something?). Of course these three are somewhat correlated, but it would be interessting to see how much they affect each other.Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766751546432262892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654649659503386270.post-77350720422256698472010-01-18T10:40:24.091+00:002010-01-18T10:40:24.091+00:00That's a good point, Wilhelm.

And I do agree that hours above 24 starts to be confusing.<br />As for people understanding percentage: If severely polluted where reduced from 10 hours to 5 hours from one month to the next, most (or at least many) people would understand that this is a 50% reduction. Now, if you reduce the time with severely pollution from 10% to 5% from one month to the next, how many will claim that the reduction is 5%?<br /><br />Actually, I do believe that (bar) graphs do a really good job here, because people can compare length and have a clear understanding of how much the change is. In this case, both hours and % can be confusing. Still, hours that doesn't add up without any explanation why is the worst of the two, in my opinion.Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766751546432262892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654649659503386270.post-77184286736142197532010-01-18T09:33:46.631+00:002010-01-18T09:33:46.631+00:00People are always fed results in percentages thoug...People are always fed results in percentages though, right?

But maybe the thought is that hours is a unit more understandable for people? Or it's the "standard unit" to report these data in? I don't know, I just feel it's a bit weird to report it like this when there are so many hours missing to make a full month...Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766751546432262892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654649659503386270.post-91161660585612292952010-01-17T21:42:04.954+00:002010-01-17T21:42:04.954+00:00.....do you think there could be another axis show........do you think there could be another axis showing - I don't know - the traffic density at the sampling site - to make a 3D chart or something? :-)Wilhelmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120996976638555064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654649659503386270.post-32107784798774620842010-01-17T21:41:07.290+00:002010-01-17T21:41:07.290+00:00Mucho improved graphics, btw.
