Abstract
A method for calibrating a gas sensor includes associating a reference station with the gas sensor, the latter belonging to a network of sensors distributed between various positions in a geographical region and being configured to measure a concentration of an analyte in the air at various measurement times. The geographical regions comprises reference station(s) remote from the gas sensor and configured to measure, at various reference times, a concentration of the analyte in the air. During a calibration time slot, an analyte concentration is measured with the gas sensor, taking into account an analyte concentration measured by the reference station associated with the gas sensor. From the analyte concentration measured by the reference station in the calibration time slot, an analyte concentration in the position of the gas sensor is estimated. The estimated analyte concentration and the analyte concentration measured by the gas sensor are compared.
