Description:
Abstract: NJDEP monitoring data for wind speed and direction. Taken from the eight monitor sites around New Jersey that collect meteorological data. Data is refreshed by the minute.
Purpose: The public will have access to the data through the What’s in my Community mapping application. They can use the data to document the wind speed and direction when they are filing an odor compliant with the department.
Supplemental Information: Locate the nearest monitor to the odor complaint for the most accurate representation of wind data.
