1. WSAQDW planning documents
1st Quarter 2015

2. Key documents Planning document for DW operations Web documentation
General help/about page (do we want to generate content dynamically from wiki/forum content?)
EPA (national O&G workgroup; four corners CH4 & AQ) repository
File request & delivery & inventory tracking
New data request form
ftp transfer client tool
File transfer and platform release
Visualization tools
(just talking about vis tools here…)

3. Visualization tools - Need statement
MPE
Preliminary
Release
User upload
Display of air quality results
emissions
modeling
observations

4. Visualization tools - Methodology
Reference modeling platform supporting documents
Modeling protocol
MPE
Observational datasets
Network protocols, etc.
Reference data processing steps
Data aggregation
Map chemical species from PGM output to observational data
See JA TSS tools descriptions
Ask Ralph to help with CAMx/CMAQ to obs datasets mapping

5. Visualization tools - Primary uses
MPE: preliminary model results to support MPE
All graphics should be marked “preliminary”
Access to preliminary data restricted to 3SAQS collaborators “expert/performance evaluation group”
Platform release: modeling platforms officially released by the DW
Graphics are considered “final”
Access to general users
Subsequent data analysis: support datasets uploaded by users
Comparisons of separate model runs
MPE of uploaded datasets (e.g. dynamic obs. comparisons; non-3SAQS model runs)
AQRV analysis applications

6. Visualization tools – design specifications
Standard for what tools should look like
Color scheme
chemical species
Negative vs positive differences color (heat)
Metadata conventions
Legends, etc.
UI conventions
Dropdowns, etc. to select data dimensions
Parameter
Time
Space (horizontal domain, vertical layer)
Nomenclature
Chemical species names/acronyms
Met fields, etc.

7. Visualization tools – criteria for MPE tools
Plot types
Scatter
Time series (model-to-obs)
Spatial (image browser/ Dustin’s tools)
Tile (use image browser)
Soccer (image browser)
Functionality
Dynamic calculation of statistics & plots
Incorporate alternate datasets / special study obs.
Shawn’s site browser (obs. vs modeled vs difference) on google map
Derivative data sets
RRFs (derivative data set); nearest neighbor, unmonitored area analysis (merged model and interpolated obs.)
others…

8. Visualization tools – next steps
Prep for Feb 25 Tech. Committee meeting
Propose strategy that makes most efficient use of DS developer’s
plan to incorporate current tools (emissions browser, model-to-obs, dynamic spatial viewer, ENVIRON SA tool)
New tool development
MPE workload
AMET vs DW tools

11. Notes
Platform status – expand studies page to include status of platform sub parts – scenarios, etc.
Create timeline for data transfer and platform delivery – present at Feb. 3 DW ops. meeting
Add milestones to timeline (Feb 25 tech. committee, late April tech. committee, western modeling & international transport modeling EPA may)
Quarterly reports (2014 Q4, 2015 Q1)
