The study was designed to examine the influence of regional sources, including urban emissions, oil and gas development, wildfires, and soil dust on air quality in the park. Field measurements of aerosols, trace gases and deposition were conducted from 25 July through 5 September 2019.Department of Atmospheric ScienceThis dataset was updated on June 23, 2025 to add two Excel files (CAVE2019_VOCs_GC.xlsx, CAVE2019_VOCs_PTRMS.xlsx) and one documentation file (CAVE2019_VOCs_ReadMe.pdf). The dataset's main ReadMe file (CAVE2019_ReadMe_20250623.pdf) was updated to reflect these additions.Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southeastern New Mexico is adjacent to the Permian Basin, one of the most productive oil and gas regions in the country. The 2019 Carlsbad Caverns Air Quality Study (CarCavAQS) was designed to examine the influence of regional sources, including urban emissions, oil and gas development, wildfires, and soil dust on air quality in the park. Field measurements of aerosols, trace gases, and deposition were conducted from 25 July through 5 September 2019.PDFZIPXLSXCSVenghttps://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/National ParksPM2.5VisibilityCarlsbad CavernsDatasetThe material is open access and distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Public Domain "No rights reserved" (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).
