LISTOS data was collected during a multi-agency field campaign from June to September 2018. It includes airborne remote sensing and in-situ measurements focused on ozone formation and transport in the New York City metropolitan region. The campaign involved NASA, NOAA, EPA NESCAUM, and several state environmental agencies and universities.
Use Cases
- Analyze ozone transport patterns over Long Island Sound using geospatial flight track and concentration data.
- Validate satellite-based NO2 and HCHO retrievals from TROPOMI with coincident airborne measurements.
- Study the impact of sea breeze circulation on pollutant confinement using time-series data from the marine boundary layer.
- Test and calibrate airborne simulator data from GCAS and GeoTASO instruments for future TEMPO mission preparation.
Strengths
- Data collection involved a coordinated network of three aircraft, ground sites, mobile vehicles, and ozonesondes.
- Campaign provides focused observations on a chronic air quality problem affecting over 20 million people.
Limitations
- Data collection is complete and static, with no planned updates since the 2018 campaign.
- Specific data volume, row count, and available variables are not detailed in the provided description.
