LMOS Ozone observations – AIRNOW data

1)  super_MMDDYY.obs are the comma delineated ozone files

            2)  after accessing the file for a particular day, search the file for SHEBOYGAN or ZION

            3)  you will find there are 6 sets of ozone and quality control values;

           the first set is the 1-hour average, the second is the 8-hour averages, and the last 3 sets are peak values

4)  units are ppb;  they use EDT in the files:

            0000 EDT = 04 UTC              00 UTC = 2000 EDT on Day - 1

            0600 EDT = 10 UTC              06 UTC = 0200 EDT

            1200 EDT = 16 UTC              12 UTC = 0800 EDT

            1800 EDT = 22 UTC              18 UTC = 1400 EDT
