Both Members and Beneficiariesof AQ CoP
AQ Data Server Software
• Supported by specific projects, HTAP, MACC, EE• Co-developed at WashU, FZ Juelich, Open Source• Implemented at servers:
– FZ Juelich, Germany (Global AQ model forecasts)
– NILU, Norway (EMEP Monitoring Obs)
– NGC Corp., US (AQ Emissions data)
– VIEWS/CIRA, US (Aerosol Chemistry, Satellite)
– DataFed, US (Tens of AQ datasets)
Common Data Access Standard, Conventions and Metadata
Interoperability tested through client software
Problem:
AQ data services are few and not interoperable
Next Problem:
Interoperable servers are emerging but there are few clients
User-Required Obs. Models
US-09-01a Nine-Step Method for Priority Eos1: Identify Analyst and Advisory Group for the SBA
2: Determine scope of topics within the SBA 3: Identify docs on obs. priorities for the SBA 4: Develop analytic methods and priority criteria 5: Analyze docs for priority EO needs6: Combine the info. and develop a prelim. report 7: Gather feedback on the preliminary report 8: Perform any additional analysis 9: Complete the report on Earth obs. for the SBA
Developed Five-Step Methodology for User Req. Registry
1: State the SB Sub-Area: e.g. Manage Air Quality 2: Define Major Workflow Steps of the SBA3: Name the Value-Adding Activities4: Identify Participants for Each Activity (‘Users’)5: Determine the Participant’s EO Needs
