LISTOS New Haven Ground Site: Air Quality Measurements from 2018 Campaign

LISTOS_Ground_NewHaven_Data is ground site data from the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study (LISTOS) field campaign. The dataset was collected by a multi-agency collaboration including NASA, NOAA, EPA NESCAUM, and state environmental departments during June-September 2018. It focuses on ozone formation and transport in the New York City metropolitan area and downwind regions over Long Island Sound.

Use Cases

• Analyzing ozone transport patterns based on the described sea breeze circulation over Long Island Sound.
• Studying the evolution of ozone formation in the NYC region based on the campaign's stated goal.
• Validating satellite-based air quality retrievals using the ground-based measurements of ozone, NO2, and HCHO mentioned.
• Investigating pollution confinement in the marine boundary layer based on the described meteorological conditions.

Strengths

• Data collection is complete, as explicitly stated in the description.
• Result of a joint effort across multiple authoritative agencies including NASA, NOAA, EPA, and state departments.
• Includes measurements from a network of ground sites integrated with aircraft, mobile vehicles, and boat measurements.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Available file formats (BIN, PDF, ISO, HTML) suggest raw or packaged data that may require specialized tools to access.
