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, and state environmental departments. Primary measurements were gathered between June and September 2018.
Use Cases
- Analyze time-series trends of ground-level ozone concentrations from the Rutgers site to study daily and seasonal patterns.
- Correlate ozone measurements with meteorological data like sea breeze events to model pollution transport over Long Island Sound.
- Validate satellite-based air quality products from TEMPO or TROPOMI using in-situ ground measurements of ozone, NO2, and HCHO.
- Investigate the impact of pollution transported from the New York City metropolitan area on downwind regions like Connecticut.
Strengths
- Data collection involved a multi-agency collaboration ensuring diverse expertise and instrumentation.
- Campaign integrated measurements from aircraft, ground sites, mobile vehicles, and boats for a multi-platform perspective.
- Focused temporal coverage during the high-ozone season (June-September 2018) captures peak pollution events.
Limitations
- Specific row count, column names, and measurement frequency for the ground site are unknown.
- Geographic coverage is limited to the Long Island Sound region and the Northeastern U.S.
- Data is from a single field campaign in 2018 and may not represent current atmospheric conditions.
Provenance
