LISTOS Outer Island Ground Site Data for Ozone Transport Study

LISTOS_Ground_OuterIsland_Data is ground site data collected during the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study (LISTOS) field campaign. The data was collected between June and September 2018 at the Outer Island ground site as part of a multi-agency effort involving NASA, NOAA, EPA NESCAUM, and several state environmental departments and university research groups. It was created to investigate ozone formation and transport in the New York City metropolitan region and downwind areas.

Use Cases

• Analyze ozone chemistry and formation patterns based on ground site measurements mentioned in the description
• Study pollution transport via sea breeze circulation based on the described land/water interaction
• Validate satellite-based air quality products like TROPOMI based on the use of ground-based measurements described
• Model the impact of marine boundary layers on pollutant confinement based on the described atmospheric conditions
• Assess compliance with federal air quality standards for ground-level ozone in the Northeast U.S. based on the described regional challenge

Strengths

• Data collection is complete, indicating a finalized dataset
• Result of a joint effort across multiple federal, state, and academic agencies
• Primary measurement observations took place during a defined period (June-September 2018)

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 and ISO, which may require specialized tools for access
