NARSTO-Northeast 1995 Surface Ozone, NO, and NOx Measurements

NARSTO_NE_MODEL is a dataset from the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO) 1998 Model-Intercomparison Study. It contains one-hour average surface measurements of O3, NO, and NOx from the 1995 NARSTO-Northeast intensive field campaign, intended for verifying air quality model predictions. The data was made available by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Use Cases

• Verify and compare meteorological, emissions, and air quality model predictions based on surface ozone and nitrogen oxide measurements.
• Analyze changes in ambient ozone concentrations in response to VOC and NOx emissions changes based on the described model intercomparison activity.
• Study tropospheric pollution behavior in the northeastern United States based on the 1995 intensive field campaign data.

Strengths

• Data originates from a coordinated, multi-national public/private partnership (NARSTO) spanning government, industry, and academia.
• Includes surface measurements for three key air quality indicators (O3, NO, NOx) from a specific intensive field campaign in 1995.
• Supports a defined scientific activity: the 1998 NARSTO Model Intercomparison study for policy-relevant research.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from 1995; freshness should be verified for contemporary applications.
