  1. Tiger Team: Web-Enabled Tools for Air Quality Management Decision Support PIs: Jim Szykman (USEPA ORD), Scott Spak (Iowa) AQAST Members: Greg Carmichael (Iowa), Daven Henze (CU Boulder), Dick McNider (UAH), Brad Pierce (NOAA/NESDIS) TT Specific Members: Todd Plessel and Matt Freeman (USEPA/NCC/L-M), Hyun-Deok Choi (NIA NASA-LaRC), Andrew Lynch (Iowa) AQ management contacts: Terry Keating, Susan Anenberg (USEPA OAR), Rohit Mathur (USEPA ORD), Chris Misenis, Sharon Phillips (USEPA OAQPS), David Lighthall (SJVAPCD), Matthew Johnson (IA DNR) NASA Air Quality Applied Sciences Team 9th Biannual MeetingSt. Louis University 3 June 2015

  2. What AQ managers request ARSET participants AQAST meeting attendees, 2011-2014 Year 1 TT Survey EPA, state, regional, local AQ managers • Products for using satellite retrievals of atmospheric composition in model evaluation and regulatory applications • “presenting the data in a manner that is policy-relevant” and “creating targeted, processed and user-friendly datasets…that will help AQ agencies and the private sector meet their regulatory, monitoring, and permitting requirements” (Duncan and Prados, 2012) Duncan, B.N., and A.I. Prados (2012). Recommendations for AQAST Activities: Potential Tiger Team Proposal Ideas. Air Quality Applied Science Team Interim Tiger Team Report.

  3. Approach: capacity to capability • Objective: interoperable web-based infrastructure to provide added value from NASA satellite data for model evaluation, routine regulatory activities, constraining emission fields, and presenting data in an accessible user-ready and policy relevant manner • Tiger Team as integration: Leverage AQAST expertise, connections, efforts • model evaluation, adjoint and S-R calculations for Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution and UNEP Climate and Clean Air Coalition • UAH model evaluation with GOES and MODIS cloud and land surface retrievals • EPA funded development of Remote Sensing Information Gateway (RSIG) Application and Cyberinfrastructure Best Practices under CyAir • Outcome: Initial basis for a user-agency supported common infrastructure for productizing satellite and model datasets and tools from AQAST

  4. The foundation: RSIGwww.epa.gov/rsig

  5. Publication-ready data browser: Visualize, regrid, overplot, export 12km CMAQ AQMEII 4.7.1 AOD Aqua MODIS AOD on the same grid CMAQ AQMEII 5.0 AOD and CALIOP L2 AOD (532 nm) MODIS L2 AOD (550nm) and CALIOP L2 AOD (532 nm)
