LISTOS Bayonne Ground Site Data: Tropospheric Ozone Measurements

The New York City metropolitan area, including portions of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, is the focus of this dataset. It contains ground site data from the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study (LISTOS) collected at the Bayonne site during a multi-agency field campaign. Primary measurement observations took place between June and September 2018 to investigate ozone formation and transport.

Use Cases

• Modeling ozone formation and transport based on in-situ and remote sensing measurements mentioned in the description
• Validating satellite-based air quality retrievals (e.g., TEMPO, TROPOMI) based on ground-based measurements of ozone, NO2, and HCHO
• Analyzing the impact of sea breeze circulation on pollution inland based on the study of the marine boundary layer
• Investigating chronic ground-level ozone problems in the Northeast U.S. based on the regional focus

Strengths

• Data collection involved a joint effort across multiple agencies including NASA, NOAA, EPA, and state environmental departments
• Primary measurement observations took place between June-September 2018, providing a defined temporal focus
• The study integrated multiple platforms including aircraft, ground sites, mobile vehicles, boats, and ozonesondes

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is provided in formats like BIN, PDF, ISO, HTML, which may require specialized tools for analysis
