LMOS Milwaukee Ground Site Data: Lake Michigan Ozone Study

LMOS_Ground_Milwaukee_Data_1 is a product of the Lake Michigan Ozone Study (LMOS) field campaign conducted from May through June 2017. The study was a collaborative, multi-agency effort involving NASA, NOAA, EPA, EPRI, NSF, LADCO, and university research groups to understand ozone formation and transport around Lake Michigan. Elevated ozone levels along the coast motivated the study, which used airborne, ship, mobile labs, and fixed ground-based platforms to collect air quality and meteorology data.

Use Cases

• Model ozone forecasts for the Lake Michigan region based on observed lake-shore gradient data.
• Analyze ozone formation and transport mechanisms based on multi-platform observational datasets.
• Study the impact of lake breeze airflow on coastal ozone concentrations.
• Assess regional ozone issues and emission influences based on the field study findings.

Strengths

• Data collection is complete, indicating a finalized dataset.
• The study involved a joint effort across multiple major agencies and research groups.
• Observational datasets were gathered through a combination of airborne, ship, mobile labs, and fixed ground-based platforms.

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 access.
