LMOS Sheboygan Ground Site Data: Ozone and Meteorology Measurements from May-June 2017

The Lake Michigan Ozone Study (LMOS) was a multi-agency field campaign conducted from May through June 2017 to investigate elevated ozone levels along the Lake Michigan coast. This dataset contains ground site observations from Sheboygan, resulting from a collaboration between NASA, NOAA, EPA, EPRI, NSF, LADCO, and university research groups. Data collection is complete and aimed at understanding ozone formation, transport, and the lakeshore concentration gradient.

Use Cases

• Modeling ozone formation and transport based on the described multi-platform observational campaign.
• Analyzing the lakeshore ozone concentration gradient based on the study's primary research motivation.
• Improving regional ozone forecasts based on the stated long-term goals of the LMOS field study.
• Investigating the impact of lake breeze airflow on air quality based on the described meteorological phenomenon.

Strengths

• Data collection involved a collaborative, multi-agency effort including NASA, NOAA, EPA, and NSF.
• Observations were collected during a dedicated field campaign from May through June 2017.
• The study design combined airborne, ship, mobile lab, 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 for specific modeling tasks.
• File formats include BIN, PDF, ISO, and HTML, which may require specialized tools for access and processing.
