Data System Connectivity Description Doc

• The connectivity matrix indicates data system connections ranging from downloading data to standards-based interoperability.
• The yellow cells indicate custom interface connectivity, blue indicates standard interfaces.
• This matrix is incomplete and in flux as the connections among systems are identified and logged. Please add connections or make corrections.
• Clicking on any cell leads you to further explanatiaon about the specific connection. (note: should the links to empty cells be eliminated? Add the provided by and consumed by to titles? Change presentation of notes (footnotes)?)

To edit the matrix, click on the link to 'Data System Connectivity Matrix' above the matrix and then login as aqcluster PW: aqcluster
NOTE: To login, select the 'sign up now' button in the top right. Then type in aqcluster, aqcluster. When the ZoHo applciation loads, select the Data Connectivity Matrix from the list in the left frame.
Before editing, make sure that you see a 'Save' button in the toolbar otherwise you won't be able to save your edits.

1. type in the arrow in the appropriate cell
2. color the cell either yellow or green
3. describe the connection in the appropriate section in the lower half of this wiki page

• Please do not copy and paste cells. Each cell contains a hyperlink to its corresponding section of the wiki page and then link will be overwritten if content from one cell is pasted to another cell.

AQS

AIRNow

AirNow does retrieve data from AQS to include in it's historical data section. This process it not yet automated via web services, so the box was not checked.

AirQuest

AirQuest ingests AQS data once per quarter via the AirQuest ETL (extraction tranformation and load) software/process.

CASTNET

The From CASTNET To AQS box is checked, but no one on the AQS team knows of any CASTNET data that makes its way into AQS.

DataFed

DataFed retrieves data from AQS and creates a WCS output.

HEI AQDB

The HEI AQDB manually ingests new AQS data when the data is posted on the AQS TTN website (this is once per quarter or less). Since this process requires human intervention, the box was not checked.

NEISGEI

NEISGEI uses particulate matter and gasous pollutant concentrations from the AQS network in its analysis applications. The AQS data is accessed through the DataFed WCS interface.

RSIG

The RSIG subsetter is connected to the AQS Data Mart to retrieve ozone and PM data on demand for the RSIG front end.

AQ Modeling

NEISGEI

NEISGEI serves soem of the HTAP 2001 model results and is developing prototype model analysis applciations for HTAP and a single day CMAQ run. NEISGEI provides WCS access to the RETRO and EDGAR global emission estimates. Fire emissions model ouput are in the process of being integrated.

CASTNET

<ask limit="100" >CASTNETDataAccessInteroperability</ask>

AIRNow

Ozone data is provided to the public through AirNow.

NEISGEI

NEISGEI accesses NASA MODIS fire products through the NASA DAACs for use in analysis applications

DataFed

<ask limit="100" >DataFedDataAccessInteroperability</ask>

NEISGEI

• NEISGEI uses DataFed to register and serve emissions data through OGC WMS and WCS
• NEISGEI uses the DataFed service workflow engine to create web applications
• NEISGEI uses the DataFed Browser and applications for visualization and analysis
• DataFed use WMS and WCS services from NEISGEI
