  1. The Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis (ALPACA)-2022 field study (https://alpaca.community.uaf.edu/alpaca-field-study/) investigated air pollution under dark and cold conditions in Fairbanks, Alaska in January and February, 2022. One of the main motivations for ALPACA was to understand how temperature inversions trap pollutants at the surface. This was studied by using University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) long-path Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy instrument (LP-DOAS) to probe the Fairbanks atmosphere from 12 meters(m) – 191m altitude and yield information on the vertical distribution of various trace gases / pollutants. The dataset contains the open atmosphere LP-DOAS measurement of Ozone (O3), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), and Nitrous Acid (HONO) on four different light paths over wintertime downtown Fairbanks, Alaska (AK) during ALPACA. The four light paths cover the following altitude intervals: 12-17m, 17-73m, 17-115m, and 17-191m. The ReadMe file included in the data set provides exact coordinates, length, and altitude intervals for the four light paths.
