OpenCellID publishes the locations of all cell towers in the world and updates their database daily. This shapefile was downloaded on 3/16/2016 and includes all cell towers in Africa.

This dataset represents cellular tower locations as recorded by the Federal Communications Commission This feature class serves as base information for use in GIS systems for general planning, analytical, and research purposes. It is not intended for engineering work or to legally define FCC licensee data or FCC market boundaries. The material in these data and text files are provided as-is. The FCC disclaims all warranties with regard to the contents of these files, including their fitness. In no event shall the FCC be liable for any special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from loss or use, data or profits, whether in connection with the use or performance of the contents of these files, action of contract, negligence, or other action arising out of, or in connection with the use of the contents of these files. It is known that there are some errors in the licensing information - Latitude, Longitude and Ground Elevation data as well as frequency assignment data from which these MapInfo files were generated.

As directed by the New Hampshire legislature, the Office of Strategic Initiatives is maintaining this database of wireless communication towers in order to ensure the orderly development of a wireless communications network statewide.

Overview In support of the Wind Forecasting Improvement Project, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) deployed surface meteorological stations in Oregon. Data Details A PNNL computer is used as the base station to download the meteorological data acquired by the data logger at each site via a cellular modem. The data collected will be made available to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration each hour and used to support the short-term forecasting project by providing an independent evaluation of the added value of new data to meteorological forecasts. Each meteorological station consists of a solar-powered data acquisition system and wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and solar radiation sensors on a 3-m tower. Specifically, the stations are comprised of the following instruments and equipment: Campbell Scientific CM6 Tripod Campbell Scientific CR10X Measurement and Control System R.M. Young 05106 Wind Monitor Vaisala HMP45C Temperature and Humidity Probe Vaisala PTB101B Barometric Pressure Sensor Li-Cor LI200X Pyranometer RavenXT Cellular Modem The data logger is used to sample, at 1-second intervals, the horizontal wind speed and direction at 3 meters above ground level (AGL); the air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and solar radiation at 2 meters AGL; and the logger temperature and power supply. The logger outputs the 1-minute averages of these measurements to final storage and power on the cellular modem, so the data can be retrieved and downloaded to a base station computer. The data are archived as 1-hour comma-delimited ASCII files (see "Table 2. Format of the WFIP2 Comma-delimited ASCII Data Files" in wfip2-met-data.pdf). All dates and times in the file names and data records are in UTC and denote the end of the 1-minute average. Data Quality Data for each primary measurement at every site are automatically plotted daily and reviewed about every three days. Instrument outages or events are reported with the Instrument and Model Data Problem Log at: .

Permits issued by the Department of Buildings in the City of Chicago from 2006 to the present. The dataset for each year contains more than 65,000 records/rows of data and cannot be viewed in full in Microsoft Excel. Therefore, when downloading the file, select CSV from the Export menu. Open the file in an ASCII text editor, such as Wordpad, to view and search. Data fields requiring description are detailed below. PERMIT TYPE: "New Construction and Renovation" includes new projects or rehabilitations of existing buildings; "Other Construction" includes items that require plans such as cell towers and cranes; "Easy Permit" includes minor repairs that require no plans; "Wrecking/Demolition" includes private demolition of buildings and other structures; "Electrical Wiring" includes major and minor electrical work both permanent and temporary; "Sign Permit" includes signs, canopies and awnings both on private property and over the public way; "Porch Permit" includes new porch construction and renovation (defunct permit type porches are now issued under "New Construction and Renovation" directly); "Reinstate Permit" includes original permit reinstatements; "Extension Permits" includes extension of original permit when construction has not started within six months of original permit issuance. WORK DESCRIPTION: The description of work being done on the issued permit, which is printed on the permit. PIN1 – PIN10: A maximum of ten assessor parcel index numbers belonging to the permitted property. PINs are provided by the customer seeking the permit since mid-2008 where required by the Cook County Assessor’s Office. CONTRACTOR INFORMATION: The contractor type, name, and contact information. Data includes up to 15 different contractors per permit if applicable.
