1. 2010 Progress Report to UIC: GEOSS Air Quality Community of Practice (AQ CoP) Rudolf Husar (Point of Contact, rhusar@wustl.edu) Washington University in St. Louis AQ CoP 16 th GEOSS User Interface Committee Meeting Oslow, September 1, 2010

2. Air quality community spans efforts Monitor the atmosphere (surface, satellite and aerial systems), Model future atmospheric behavior and air quality conditions, Measure and estimate emissions of pollution and pollution forming gases and particles, Combine those information with socio-economic data for decision making analyses. Informing the Public Enforcing Standards Hemispheric Transport Real-time Service Regulatory Analysis Policy Assessment Atmospheric Composition Science & Education

3. Air Quality & Health Applications

4. 2010 CoP Activities using the GEO Process Meetings, Coordination: AQ Community Presentation, IGARSS, July, Honolulu, HI Meeting AQ Community Infrastructure, ESIP, July, Knoxville, TN Coordinated Participation in the GEOSS AIP-III Monthly Teleconferences Interoperability Virtual Workshops – Data Access, Metadata, Projects Initial development of collaborative website for AQ CoP

10. AQ CoP Challenges Broader Participation by Non- US members –More Support to Early Adaptors More AQ Data-As-Service –Incentives for data providers and mediators Acceptance by the AQ User Community –Developing Trust by the AQ Managers & Scientists

11. Air quality: Many Observations, Many Applications 11

12. The CoP aims to connect and enable air quality data providers and data users to benefit society using the GEO Process and GEOSS Infrastructure 12
