Air Quality Data User Agencies Draft ESIP Federation Air Quality Cluster February, 2005

Air Quality – Related Agencies and Organizations Background and Rationale The ESIP AQ cluster seeks to aid the flow of AQ-related data from the producers to the users Below is an initial list of agencies dealing with air quality/atmospheric chemistry data In order to aid the deliberations of the AQ cluster, the following pages summarize the stated AQ-related goals and activities for each agency Most of these organizations are both producers and users of data, tool and other resources During its deliberations, the AQ cluster can –Identify the specific activities of these agencies that could benefit from facilitation and advice by the ESIP Federation on information technology –Identify the relevant data, tools and other resources available through ESIPFed –Match the needs and the resources (in case of mild mismatches, create gateways??)

Air Quality – Related Agencies and Organizations Draft Summary to be completed by the ESIP AQ Cluster EPA – Environmental Protection Agency NPS – National Park Service NOAA – National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration RPOs – Regional Haze Regional Planning Organizations NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration NSF- National Science Foundation WMO/GAW - Global Atmosphere Watch IGAC - International Global Atmospheric Chemistry

EPA (1) J. Bachmann: Air-Related Environmental Challenges for the 21st Century Bachmann Air-Related Environmental Challenges for the 21st Century Bachmann AQ Management Challenges Meeting NAAQ Standards PM/O 3 /Haze, Toxics NRC Recommendations: Strengthen technical capacity Expand multi-state control strategies

EPA (2) NAAMS: National Ambient Air Monitoring StrategyNational Ambient Air Monitoring Strategy Strategy Implementation emphasis: Continuous monitoring Real-time information transfer Application of Monitoring Data:

EPA (3) G. Foley: Data Needs and Priorities of EPA: How the EPA and Federation can work together to reach our common objectives?Data Needs and Priorities of EPA Goals and Activities: EPA needs to become a larger user of remotely sensed earth observation data Define info needs through the use of its decision support tools, the observation and modeling Seek partnerships with the Earth Observation community

NOAA’s Air Quality Program (1) Forecast Modeling and Monitoring Source: S. Fine: NOAA AQ Program, Sept. 2004S. Fine: NOAA AQ Program, Sept Goals: Provide information to make well-informed AQ decisions Provide AQ forecast guidance to better anticipate AQ episodes

NOAA’s Air Quality Program (2) Satellite Monitoring Source: M. Goldberg: NOAA Satellite Operations, Sept. 2004M. Goldberg: NOAA Satellite Operations, Sept Goals: Collaborative with NASA and EPA in support for the AQ forecast program Help define requirements for satellite-derived AQ products Help propose new technologies Help develop AQ products and implement them operationally *************** Assimilate satellite products **************

Department of Interior National Park Service, Air Quality ProgramAir Quality Program Goals and Activities: ‘To preserve, protect, enhance, and understand air quality … in the National Park System’ IMPROVE Monitoring Program

Regional Haze Regional Planning Organizations (RPO) Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Visibility Union (MANE - VU) Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO) Visibility Imp. State & Tribal Assoc. of the Southeast (VISTAS) Central States Regional Air Partnership (CENRAP).Central States Regional Air Partnership (CENRAP) Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) Pollutants that cause regional haze can originate from sources located across broad geographic areas EPA has encouraged the States to address visibility impairment from a regional perspective EPA funds five regional planning organizations (RPOs) to address regional haze issues: evaluate technical information to understand how the States impact Class I areas develop regional strategies to reduce emissions of PM and causes of regional haze Data analysts working for the RPOs are major consumers of satellite products depicting PM-related parameters

NASA L. Friedl, P. DaCola : Air Quality and Climate Change: Research and ApplicationsAir Quality and Climate Change: Research and Applications Goals and Activities: ResearchApplications

NASA L. Friedl: NASA Atmospheric Sciences: Research & Applications Goals and Activities:

NSF Atmospheric Sciences/Atmospheric Chemistry Atmospheric Sciences/Atmospheric Chemistry Goals and Activities: Supports research to measure and model the concentration and distribution of gases and aerosols. Supports research on –Chemical reactions in the atmosphere –Sources and sinks of important trace gases and aerosols –Aqueous-phase atmospheric chemistry –Transport of gases and aerosols throughout the atmosphere –Methods for measuring the concentrations of trace species and their fluxes into and out of the atmosphere. NSF also provides support for participation by the US in international scientific research endeavors, such as the World Climate Research Program.

International Air Quality Programs (1) IGAC International Global Atmospheric Chemistry IGAC Goals and Activities: Coordinated International Projects To determine the global distributions of atmospheric chemical species and their change over time To understand controlling processes and their impact on global change and air quality To improve prediction of atmospheric over the coming decades by integrating atmospheric processes with the response and feedbacks of the Earth System.

International Air Quality Programs (1) GAW - Global Atmospheric Watch GAW The rationale for GAW: To understand the nature of natural and anthropogenic atmospheric change Improve the understanding of atmosphere, ocean and biosphere interactions Provide reliable scientific information for national and international policy makers

GEOSSGEOSS: Global Earth Observing System of Systems Over the next decade, a global Earth Observation System will revolutionize our understanding of the Earth and how it works. Building an integrated, comprehensive and sustained global Earth Observation System opens a world of possibilities. “A global system of Earth observations would provide us with tools to make national and global air quality forecasts in the same way we currently make weather forecasts.”
