Formaldehyde observations inform AQ monitoring strategies for ozone and related photochemical oxidants Data

The links in this ScienceHub entry provide a path to access archived data collected by EPA ORD researchers contributing to this publication. These include datasets collected in Olympic Park, Seoul, Republic of Korea; Taehwa Mountain, Republic of Korea; and along Long Island Sound in Connecticut and New York. These data collection efforts contributed to the larger field measurement missions named KORUS-AQ and LISTOS.

The data files relevant to this publication are those archiving ground-based in situ formaldehyde data measurements and the Pandora level 0 radiance measurements, from which total column formaldehyde is retrieved, and compared to that retrieved from airborne and satellite-based radiance measurements.

Each dataset has a DOI included in its metadata, with contract information for relevant principal investigators and data managers. These DOI are generated by NASA and by the Pandonia Global Network through collaborations with EPA Office of Research and Development.

Noise Data 2016

The dataset provides noise data to facilitate the tracking of trends in transportation-related noise. This dataset includes results from simplified noise modeling methods and should not be used to evaluate noise levels in individual locations. See the documentation for a full description of methodologies and assumptions: https://doi.org/10.21949/1519111

The 2016 National Transportation Noise Map dataset utilized transportation mode input data from 2016 in a model and is current as of October 2020, published by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). Please see the website https://www.bts.gov/geospatial/national-transportation-noise-map, for downloads and more information about these datasets. For web services of these data, please navigate to https://geo.dot.gov/server/rest/services/Hosted and search for service names beginning with "Noise."

Data within the National Transportation Noise Map represent potential noise levels across the nation for an average annual day for the specified year. These data are intended to facilitate the tracking of trends in transportation-related noise by mode collectively over time and should not be used to evaluate noise levels in individual locations and/or at specific times. This dataset is developed using a 24-hr equivalent A-weighted sound level (denoted by LAeq) noise metric. The results represent the approximate average noise energy due to transportation noise sources over a 24-hour period at the receptor locations where noise is computed. Layers include Aviation and Road Noise for the Lower 48 States as well as Alaska and Hawaii. The full listing can be found below.

Counties

The Counties dataset was updated on October 31, 2023 from the United States Census Bureau (USCB) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The primary legal divisions of most states are termed counties. In Louisiana, these divisions are known as parishes. In Alaska, which has no counties, the equivalent entities are the organized boroughs, city and boroughs, municipalities, and for the unorganized area, census areas. The latter are delineated cooperatively for statistical purposes by the State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four states (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or more incorporated places that are independent of any county organization and thus constitute primary divisions of their states. These incorporated places are known as independent cities and are treated as equivalent entities for purposes of data presentation. The District of Columbia and Guam have no primary divisions, and each area is considered an equivalent entity for purposes of data presentation. The Census Bureau treats the following entities as equivalents of counties for purposes of data presentation: Municipios in Puerto Rico, Districts and Islands in American Samoa, Municipalities in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas is covered by counties or equivalent entities. The boundaries for counties and equivalent entities are mostly as of January 1, 2023, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529015
