LISTOS Flax Pond Ground Site Air Quality Measurements

LISTOS_Ground_FlaxPond_Data contains ground site measurements collected during the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study (LISTOS) field campaign. The data is a result of a multi-agency collaboration involving NASA, NOAA, EPA NESCAUM, and state environmental departments. Primary measurement observations took place between June and September 2018.

Use Cases

• Analyze ozone formation and transport patterns based on the described focus on the NYC metropolitan area and Long Island Sound.
• Validate satellite-based air quality retrievals based on the mention of supporting TEMPO and TROPOMI instrument validation.
• Study sea breeze pollution transport effects based on the description of pollutants confined over Long Island Sound.
• Investigate chronic ground-level ozone problems based on the dataset's stated purpose for the LISTOS study.

Strengths

• Data collection is complete, as stated in the description.
• Result of a joint effort across multiple agencies, including NASA, NOAA, EPA NESCAUM, and state departments.
• Primary measurement observations took place between June-September 2018, providing a defined temporal focus.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• File formats include BIN, PDF, ISO, HTML, which may require specialized tools for data extraction.
