Ground site data was collected at the Bronx Pfizer location during the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study (LISTOS) field campaign. The multi-agency effort involved NASA, NOAA, EPA NESCAUM, and several state environmental departments. Primary measurement observations took place between June and September 2018.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal trends in ground-level ozone concentrations from the Bronx site during the 2018 summer period.
- Study correlations between sea breeze events and transported pollution levels using in-situ measurement time-series.
- Validate satellite-based retrievals of NO2 and HCHO from instruments like TROPOMI with ground-based observations.
- Model ozone chemistry and transport dynamics in the New York City metropolitan area and downwind regions.
Strengths
- Data collection is part of a coordinated multi-agency campaign involving NASA, NOAA, and EPA partners.
- Measurements focus on a critical air quality challenge in a metropolitan area with over 20 million people.
- Campaign integrated data from aircraft, ground sites, mobile vehicles, and boats for context.
Limitations
- Dataset is limited to a single ground site location at the Bronx Pfizer site.
- Temporal coverage is confined to the primary campaign period from June to September 2018.
- Specific row counts, column details, and measurement variables are not provided in the description.
