Ground site data from the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study collected at the City College of New York site. Measurements were taken during the primary LISTOS field campaign between June and September 2018. The study was a multi-agency collaboration involving NASA, NOAA, EPA NESCAUM, and several state environmental departments.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal patterns of ground-level ozone concentrations from the CCNY site time-series.
- Investigate correlations between sea breeze events and pollutant transport using meteorological and chemical measurement features.
- Validate satellite retrievals of NO2 and HCHO from TROPOMI using co-located ground-based measurements.
- Study ozone chemistry in the marine boundary layer by examining relationships between precursor pollutants and ozone levels.
- Model pollution transport from New York City over Long Island Sound using ground site data as a validation source.
Strengths
- Data collection involved a coordinated multi-agency effort, ensuring methodological rigor.
- Campaign integrated ground sites with aircraft and mobile measurements for a multi-platform perspective.
- Focuses on a persistent air quality challenge in a metropolitan area of over 20 million people.
Limitations
- Dataset size, row count, and specific measured parameters are not documented.
- Temporal coverage is limited to the intensive campaign period from June to September 2018.
- Geographic coverage is specific to the New York City region and Long Island Sound.
