  1. WRAP Technical Support System for Air Quality Planning, Tracking, & Decision Support December 6, 2007 Tom Moore, Western Regional Air Partnership, Western Governor’s Association Shawn McClure, CIRA, Colorado State University

  2. Acknowledgments • The TSS is based upon WRAP work done between 1997 and 2007 • Experience with §309 Haze SIPs submitted 12/03 • Need to distill key information for haze planning across wide variety of air programs in the West • Thanks to: • WRAP Forums and Workgroups - Too many individuals to list all • Attribution of Haze: Steve Arnold (CO) & Bob Kotchenruther (EPA-R10) • Modeling: John Vimont (NPS), Mary Uhl (NM), Kevin Briggs (CO) • Monitoring & Data Analysis: Marc Pitchford (NOAA) • Hundreds involved: feds, tribes, states, industry, enviros • TSS Development Team: Shawn McClure (CIRA), Joe Adlhoch (Air Resource Specialists), Gerry Mansell (ENVIRON) & others • EPA funding • In-kind staff work from many agencies & organizations; thousands of hours • Purpose of talk is to describe progress to date and plans for the future

  3. VIEWS / TSS Introduction What is the TSS?(http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/tss) • A decision support system for facilitating the completion of regional haze implementation plans to improve visibility in Class I areas • A primary online source for visualization, analysis, and retrieval of regional technical data and analytical results • An integrated, interactive database: • air quality monitoring data • meteorological and receptor modeling data analyses • emissions inventories and models • gridded air quality/visibility regional modeling simulations

  4. VIEWS / TSS Overview

  5. VIEWS / TSS Vision End-to-end Air Quality Data and Decision Support • Acquisition • Import • Unification • Management • Manipulation • Retrieval • Visualization • Analysis • Exploration • Search • Source Apportionment • Modeling • Assessment • Interpretation • Planning • Controls • Regulation • Tracking

  6. Integrated System Solution Chart

  7. VIEWS / TSS Future Vision Goals and Development Plans • Provide comprehensive comparison and analysis of monitored, modeled, and emissions data with an integrated suite of tools • Enhance and expand decision support applications • Enable providers to upload manage their own data & metadata • Promote an open, extensible, service-oriented architecture • Provide services, components, and tools to air quality developers • Incorporate satellite and meteorological data • Investigate climate change and epidemiological applications and perspectives • Facilitate collaboration and development between organizations

  8. VIEWS / TSS Data Import

  9. VIEWS / TSS Database Architecture • OLTP: • Functions as the “back-end” database • Fully relational and in 3rd normal form • Used for data import, validation, and management • Technologies: Microsoft SQL Server • Data Warehouse Generation System: • Extracts data from the OLTP • De-normalizes and transforms data • Loads data into the Data Warehouse • Builds table indexes • Archives “snapshots” of the database • Technologies: VB, stored procedures • Data Warehouse: • Functions as the “front-end” database • Uses a de-normalized “star schema” • Used for querying and archiving data • Automatically generated from the OLTP • Technologies: Microsoft SQL Server 9
