The NAtChem Database and Analysis Facility Databases: NAtChem/Precipitation Chemistry NAtChem/PM and Toxics NAtChem/CORE NAtChem/Pacific2001
3
NAtChem/Precipitation Chemistry Database - Status The entire archive was transferred from a UNIX server to a new format on a Windows2003 server The networks included in archive are: and 16 additional historical networks Data and products are now accessible on-line - Data Exchange Standard (DES) files - Summary Statistics files (Annual, Seasonal, Quarterly & Monthly) - Time series plots - Data summary reports - Isopleth maps

11
NAtChem/Precipitation Chemistry - Planned Work Develop a new set of enhanced wet deposition maps that include climatological precipitation data Prepare papers on the Acid Rain Science Assessment results Continue to collect/convert/quality assure/archive/analyze North American precipitation chemistry data
12
NAtChem/PM and Toxics Database - Status The networks included in archive are: and 9 additional historical networks Data and products are now accessible on-line - Data Exchange Standard (DES) files - Summary Statistics files (Annual, Seasonal & Quarterly) - Time series plots
13
NAtChem/PM Monitoring Sites in 2002
14
NAtChem/PM and Toxics Database - Results to date NAtChem data and products made available online at: http://www.msc.ec.gc.ca/natchem http://www.msc.ec.gc.ca/natchem Provided input to the Transboundary PM Report
15
Data can be selected by: –Database type –Network –Year –Province/State –Parameter group Has resulted in increased use of NAtChem data and products Uses the Ontario Region server and infrastructure NAtChem Data and Products Online
16
Data Exchange Standard (DES) data files Summary statistics files Overlay time series plots Continuous time series plots Sampling history plots – by parameter Isopleth maps
17
NAtChem Data and Products Online
19
NAtChem/CORE Database - Work to Date Archived In Progress Action Pending
20
NAtChem/CORE Database - Results to Date Exploratory Data Analysis on Alert and CAMNet data including: Time series modelling Source-Receptor Modeling –Principal Component Analysis (PCA) –Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) Potential Source Contribution Function (PSCF)
21
NAtChem CORE Data Analysis - Alert (An example of PCA with trajectories incorporated)
22
NAtChem CORE Data Analysis - CAMNet
23
NAtChem/CORE Database - Planned Work Analysis of Alert and CAMNet data in collaboration with CORE and CAMNet PIs inlcuding: Statistical techniques to handle BDLs and data gaps (e.g. Kalman Filtering) Methods to handle data sets with mixed temporal resolution Positive Matrix Factorization with the incorporation of back trajectories
24
NAtChem/Pacific2001 Database - Work to Date QA and preparation of files for submission to the NARSTO Data Center –Cassier Tunnel: 29 of 57 –Slocal Park: 29 of 40 –Langley: 41 of 58 –Golden Ears: 13 of 15 –Sumas Mountain: 27 of 44 –Convair 580: 34 of 36 –CFS Cessna: 22 of 23 -------------------------------------------------- –TOTAL: 195 of 273 (71%) possible files
25
NAtChem/Pacific2001 Database The Quality Assurance Package Enhancements for DES files include: –20 new checks (date/time, metadata) –Time series plot file size dramatically reduced –Program code shared with NARSTO, NAtChem, CORE, EPA Supersites
26
NAtChem/Pacific2001 Database - Planned Work Delivery of final Pacific2001 data files to the NARSTO Data Center on October 31, 2004 –Requires further quality assurance applied to data –To date, data files from four Principal Investigators and the Cessna have been submitted
27
The NAtChem Database and Analysis Facility - Conclusions Web-based data and product downloads are now available and are being used by governments, universities and others The budget, schedule and analysis work are all on track The hiring of the NAtChem/PM scientist has been delayed
