Feedback process

• Tech. Committee engagement in IWDW tool development

• Feedback form• Create IWDW Vis. Tool workgroup

Demos• Image Browser (thousands of plots for WAQS modeling platforms)

• Image Browser– Image Browser Index

• Emissions Review (mine modeling platform emissions databases in the IWDW)• Emissions Review Tool

– Parameter & Source Category mapping

• Geospatial tools (the latest GIS tools from Dustin’s work bench)• IWDW geospatial layers • Arc Online

• Source Apportionment (v 1.0.1.2 Environ)• Source Apportionment Tool

• Query Wizard (download data and metadata for observational networks)• Data Wizard

Image Browser• Contains full set of images for modeling platform inputs, AQ output and MPE• Provides drill down at domain, state and monitoring site scales• Model sensitivity

– MET – PGM

• Model-to-obs – Standard networks– Special studies– MPE by State and monitoring site

• Demos– Emissions: O&G vs non-O&G source regions– Model Sensitivity: MOVES NOx Sensitivity– Model-to-obs: CDPHE VOCs– Model-to-model: 2011a vs. 2011b

• Image Browser• Image Browser Index

Image BrowserFeedback Form• Quick fixes:

– Add 2008 plots– Add Gail’s O3 spatial plots– Reduce drop downs using more specific mounting of plot directories–

• Development ideas:– Dual image display – Text search (directories, file names)– Ability to pause animated gifs– Integrate metadata. XML file in plot directory, displayed on page and used to facilitate

plots by species.– Specify plot directories using XML platform description–

• Bugs:–

Emissions Review Tool• Contains full set of emissions inputs for AQ modeling platforms Dimensions

are chemical species and source category• Provides drill down by parameter (chemical species), geographic region (state

and monitoring site), and source category (source category groupings to SCC)

• Emissions Review Tool• Parameter & Source Category mapping

Emissions Review ToolFeedback Form• Quick fixes:

– Display source category aggregation descriptions –

• Development ideas:– Add map based selection by geographic region (state/county/O&G basin)

• Bugs:– allow modeling platform inter-comparisons–

GIS Tools• Prototype tools to provide geographic based metadata and data selection• Create links between IWDW database and GIS layers• Provide in-house GIS capabilities

• IWDW geospatial layers • Arc Online

GIS ToolsFeedback Form• Quick fixes:

– • Development ideas:

– Spatial selection as entry to other tools (region, state, CIA influence, monitoring site, etc.)

• Bugs:–

Source Apportionment Tool• Current tool contains SA modeling results for 2008 platform• 2011 SA modeling will expand monitoring site based SA to WESTUS 36km receptor

grids (next slide)

• Source Apportionment Tool

Western Air Quality Study (WAQS) Modeling Plan for Conducting Source Apportionment Modeling for the 2011 Modeling Year (Figure 3-2): Locations of 36 km virtual monitoring

network (crosses) as well as monitoring sites in the AQS and CASTNet ozone networks with 36 km cell shaded when it contains an AQS and/or CASTNet monitor.

SA ToolFeedback Form• Quick fixes:

– Visual integration by logo/css manipulation and iframe–

• Development ideas:– Spatial Selection – Map control which enables state/county selection–

• Bugs:–

Query Wizard• Provides ability to download data from observational networks; display custom

reports; browse monitoring site metadata, etc.

• Query Wizard

Query Wizard Feedback Form• Quick fixes:

– • Development ideas:

– Spatial Selection – Map control which enables state/county selection– Develop custom “report” type displays relevant to WAQS (O3 design values,

AQRV impacts on CIAs, etc.

• Bugs:–
