\title{ Atmospheric environmental conditions in New York City }

\description{
  Daily measurements of ozone concentration, wind speed, temperature and
  solar radiation in New York City from May to September of 1973.
}

\usage{environmental}

\format{
  A data frame with 111 observations on the following 4 variables.
  \describe{
    \item{ozone}{Average ozone concentration (of hourly measurements) of
      in parts per billion.}
    \item{radiation}{Solar radiation (from 08:00 to 12:00) in langleys.}
    \item{temperature}{Maximum daily emperature in degrees Fahrenheit.}
    \item{wind}{Average wind speed (at 07:00 and 10:00) in miles per hour.}
