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.''' Yes, in places and times where data exist. No. Yes. Yes, in places and times where data exist. 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 Data are located via the Web and are downloaded by FTP. Most users open the data files in a spreadsheet program. Not Given Conventional security issues only; access is via anonymous ftp (from the QSSC) or by user-created accounts (from the Langley DAAC).. The Data Exchange Standard is reasonably flexible and it can be used for a wide variety of air quality data. The Data Exchange Standard and its implementation were guided by a workshop and many conference calls involving data providers and potential data users. North America, 1996 to the present Mainly air quality research data, including data from the EPA Supersites, Phases 1 and 2, and other intensive studies. Established ca 1999 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 This is the primary purpose of the NARSTO Permanent Data Archive This is being developed. Not Given Not Given 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. Plots are provided for most currently archived data, and are sometimes generated for previously archived data.
