1 EPA’s QA Protocol/Handbook Optical Remote Sensing Dennis K. Mikel EPA-Office of Air Quality, Planning and Standards

2 Outline Strategy What’s in There? Chapter Description What do I need from you!!

3 What do we mean by Remote Sensing?

4 Strategy For several years, Industry, Researchers and State/Local/Federal agencies have been requesting EPA guidance EPA hosted several international workshops on Remote Sensing Recommended guidance Create a new Handbook: Volume VI! Create a comprehensive, but living document!!

5 What’s in there? All kinds of stuff!!! Instrument Descriptions Method Descriptions QA and QC Data Validation and…. Wisdom!!!

6 Chapter 1 - Introduction Purpose Evolution and Updates EPA Quality System Summary Range, Sensitivity, Measurement Errors and Uncertainty Selecting the Right Tool for Program Objectives

7 Chapter 2 – Instrument Description LIDAR Systems Thermal Imaging Cameras

8 Chapter 3 – Measurement Approaches

9 Chapter 4/5 - Ancillary Data Meteorological Measurements Collection and Extrapolation Data Validation and Verification Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs) Method Protocols

10 Timeline OAQPS – requested 2010 fiscal year funds Work Assignment in Progress Section 1 and 2 are currently being written Section 3 will commence this summer Sections 4 and 5 this fall First Draft must be finished by December 2010

11 What I need from you! As forecasters: What do you need? How can this document help you? What information is critical for you to complete your mission? Let’s Talk!!!
