The Language of Environmental Monitoring
Definition
A data spike is a sudden, temporary increase in measured pollutant concentrations or other monitored parameters, resulting in data points that are significantly higher than the surrounding measurements. One or more monitoring instruments may record a spike and can show a short-term change in environmental conditions, such as a localized emission event, or may result from instrument interference, measurement errors, or other anomalies that require further investigation.
