LMOS Scientific Aviation In-Situ Data from May-June 2017

LMOS_AircraftInSitu_ScientificAviation_Data_1 contains in-situ atmospheric measurements from the Lake Michigan Ozone Study (LMOS) field campaign. Conducted from May through June 2017, this multi-agency effort aimed to understand ozone formation and transport around Lake Michigan. The dataset was produced by NASA, NOAA, EPA, EPRI, NSF, LADCO, and university research groups.

Use Cases

• Analyze ozone formation processes based on in-situ atmospheric chemistry measurements
• Model ozone transport patterns based on data collected during lake breeze events
• Validate chemical transport models (CTMs) based on observational air quality and meteorology data
• Study the lakeshore ozone concentration gradient based on airborne observations

Strengths

• Data collection is complete for the May-June 2017 campaign
• Produced by a joint effort across multiple agencies including NASA, NOAA, and EPA
• Designed to address specific scientific questions about ozone gradients and peaks

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; usability may vary
