Long-term variations of ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 2016 to 2020 in Beijing, China

Ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are crucial precursors for the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and ozone (O3). We have conducted in-situ observations and compiled a comprehensive dataset of ambient volatile organic compound (VOC) compositions and concentrations in Beijing, China, spanning the period from 2016 to 2020. The dataset covers a wide range of VOC species including 29 alkanes, 11 alkenes, 1 alkyne, 16 aromatics, 28 halohydrocarbons, 13 oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs), and 1 nitrogenous VOC (acetonitrile). The presentation and analysis of this dataset is available in a paper submitted to Earth System Science Data (Simon et al, in prep). The findings and analysis of this dataset have been documented in a paper that has been submitted to Earth System Science Data (Liu et al., in prep).
