Add meteorological deweathering layer + Canadian AQHI
Browse files- weather_hourly.parquet: hourly T/RH/wind/BLH/pressure/precip from Open-Meteo (ERA5) for Jerusalem, London, NYC across the full 12-month window.
- jlm_deweathered.parquet / control_deweathered.parquet: pollutant series with weather variance removed via Random Forest (openair deweather::buildMod port). Hour-of-day and day-of-week deliberately excluded from features so Shabbat and diurnal signals survive in residuals.
- aqi_hourly.parquet: refreshed with Canadian AQHI (additive, NO2+O3+PM2.5, mortality-weighted) computed at city level since no single station measures all three.
- New figures 15 (raw vs deweathered Shabbat effect) and 16 (deweathered cross-city).
- README updated with weather and deweathered schemas plus headline weather-controlled drops: NO2 -34% (vs -59% raw), PM paradoxes dissolve once weather is controlled.

|

### `data/jlm_deweathered.parquet` and `data/control_deweathered.parquet` — meteorology-controlled series
|
| 195 |
+
|
| 196 |
+
Per-station, per-pollutant, per-hour pollutant series after Random Forest meteorological normalisation following the openair `deweather::buildMod` workflow. Each row contains:
|
| 197 |
+
|
| 198 |
+
| column | description |
|
| 199 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 200 |
+
| `station_id` (or `location_id`+`city` for controls) | Station |
|
| 201 |
+
| `timestamp_utc` | UTC hour |
|
| 202 |
+
| `pollutant_en` (or `pollutant`) | Pollutant |
|
| 203 |
+
| `value_raw` | Raw hourly mean concentration (same units as original) |
|
| 204 |
+
| `value_dw` | Deweathered concentration: `raw − RF_predicted + mean(raw)` |
|
| 205 |
+
| `units` | Native units |
|
| 206 |
+
| (Jerusalem only) | `is_shabbat`, `is_yom_tov`, `is_yom_kippur`, `segment`, `dow`, `hour` |
|
| 207 |
+
|
| 208 |
+
**Method.** A Random Forest is fit per pollutant per city, regressing hourly concentration on weather covariates (T, RH, wind speed, wind direction sin/cos, pressure, BLH, precipitation), seasonal day-of-year (sin/cos), and station ID. Hour-of-day and day-of-week are deliberately **excluded** from the feature set — they would let the model absorb the diurnal traffic cycle and the Shabbat / weekend effect along with weather, eliminating the very signal the analysis is trying to measure. Day-of-year stays in to capture seasonal trend (winter heating, summer photochemistry).
|
| 209 |
+
|
| 210 |
+
Subtracting the model's prediction from the raw value gives a residualised series whose Shabbat-vs-weekday contrast is attributable to *non-meteorological* factors. R² typically 0.7–0.95 depending on pollutant.

| NO₂ | −59% | **−34%** |

| PM10 | +11% | **−12%** *(paradox flips)* |

|

|
| 226 |
+
| O₃ | +3% | +1% |
|
| 227 |
+
|
| 228 |
+
Roughly **half the raw NO₂ drop is real**, the rest is weather. Both PM paradoxes (PM2.5 and PM10 going *up* on Shabbat) dissolve once meteorology is controlled — they were dust-event artefacts, not Shabbat effects.
|
| 229 |
| **Traffic-Combustion Index** | `tci`, `tci_n_inputs` | Mean of per-station z-scores (vs `segment == 'weekday'` daytime baseline) of NO₂, NO, NOx, CO, benzene, toluene. Negative = below the workweek norm. |
|
| 230 |
| **Photochemical/Dust Index** | `pd_index`, `pd_n_inputs` | Mean of z-scores of O₃ + PM2.5. Moves opposite to TCI on Shabbat — captures the "wrong-way" pollutants. |
|
| 231 |
|
|
|
|
| 363 |
because particulate matter dominates the index, and PM in Jerusalem is
|
| 364 |
driven by long-range dust as much as by local emissions.

|
| 367 |
+
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
|
| 368 |
+
| Workweek (Sun–Thu) | 64 | 4.7 | −0.10 | −0.05 |
|
| 369 |
+
| Pre-Shabbat (2h) | 63 | 4.7 | −0.58 | +0.20 |
|
| 370 |
+
| **Shabbat** | **67** | **4.4** | **−0.61** | **+0.15** |
|
| 371 |
+
| Post-Havdalah (2h) | 69 | 4.5 | −0.17 | +0.06 |
|
| 372 |

| Yom Tov | 71 | 4.1 | −0.66 | +0.03 |
|
| 373 |
+
| **Yom Kippur** | **28** | **3.0** | **−0.90** | **−0.55** |
|
| 374 |
+
|
| 375 |
+
Both standard composite indices — EPA's max-based AQI and Canada's
|
| 376 |
+
additive AQHI — are dominated by the Jerusalem PM2.5 baseline (which is
|
| 377 |
+
itself dominated by long-range dust transport). EPA AQI is essentially
|
| 378 |
+
flat on Shabbat (64→67); AQHI moves a little (4.7→4.4) but not in
|
| 379 |
+
proportion to the underlying NOx drop, because PM2.5 is the largest term
|
| 380 |
+
in its additive sum here. The Traffic-Combustion Index plunges by half a
|
| 381 |
+
standard deviation on Shabbat (and almost a full standard deviation on
|
| 382 |
+
Yom Kippur), while the Photochemical/Dust Index drifts the other way —
|
| 383 |
+
exactly as the NOx-saturated urban photochemistry would predict.
|
| 384 |
+
|
| 385 |
+
**The takeaway**: standard composites are calibrated for cities where
|
| 386 |
+
PM2.5 sources are mostly local. In Jerusalem they become "dust meters"
|
| 387 |
+
that are structurally blind to traffic-emission interventions. An
|
| 388 |
+
activity-attributable index like TCI is the right tool for evaluating
|
| 389 |
+
this kind of natural experiment.
