About
NARSTO (formerly North American Research S … NARSTO (formerly North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone) is a public/private partnership, whose membership spans government, the utilities, industry, and academe throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Its primary mission is to coordinate and enhance policy-relevant scientific research and assessment of tropospheric pollution behavior; its activities provide input for science-based decision-making and determination of workable, efficient, and effective strategies for local and regional air-pollution management. Data products from local, regional, and international monitoring and research programs are available '''through the NARSTO Permanent Data Archive at the Langley DAAC.''' anent Data Archive at the Langley DAAC.'''
DataSystemAppCharact
Yes, in places and times where data exist.
DataSystemAppFcstReAnaly
No.
DataSystemAppHealth
Yes.
DataSystemAppModelEval
Yes, in places and times where data exist.
DataSystemAppOther
NARSTO data in the Data Exchange Standard are in a spreadsheet-compatible .csv (ASCII) self-documenting format at the Langley DAAC. The data should remain available indefinitely. http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/PRODOCS/narsto/table_narsto.html
DataSystemArchInterop
Data are located via the Web and are downloaded by FTP. Most users open the data files in a spreadsheet program.
DataSystemArchOther
Not Given
DataSystemArchSecurity
Conventional security issues only; access is via anonymous ftp (from the QSSC) or by user-created accounts (from the Langley DAAC)..
DataSystemArchToolsMethods
The Data Exchange Standard is reasonably flexible and it can be used for a wide variety of air quality data.
DataSystemArchUserFeedbck
The Data Exchange Standard and its implementation were guided by a workshop and many conference calls involving data providers and potential data users.
DataSystemCoverage
North America, 1996 to the present
DataSystemDataSets
Mainly air quality research data, including data from the EPA Supersites, Phases 1 and 2, and other intensive studies.
DataSystemHistory
Established ca 1999
DataSystemParam
Multiple air quality and particulate matter measurements. The parameters available can be seen in the search tool at http://cdiac.ornl.gov/programs/ameriflux/data_system/narsto_file_search.html
DataSystemValueAccess
This is the primary purpose of the NARSTO Permanent Data Archive
DataSystemValueConsolidation
This is being developed.
DataSystemValueDecisionSupport
Not Given
DataSystemValueOther
Not Given
DataSystemValueProcess
Data in the Data Exchange Standard format are checked for various aspects of formatting and some content QA, and issues are resolved prior to archiving. Consistent data and metadata reporting requirements.
DataSystemValueVis
Plots are provided for most currently archived data, and are sometimes generated for previously archived data.
EndtoEndIntegration
Not Given
PrimaryDataStorage
The Langley DAAC, http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/PRODOCS/narsto/table_narsto.html
