Use Case 1: SolutionsUseCase_AirQuality-Atmosphere_Smoke_1a

Detailed Scenario
- see use cases and scenarios on air quality cluster page

Available Services
- Data access services (WCS) from DataFed
- Emissions WCS services from NEISGEI
- Processing services from DataFed
  - Binary Grid Operator
  - Point-to-Grid Operator

Web Applications
- Emissions Comparison Tool

Wish List
- Spatial-temporal processing service suite (something like GRASS for SOA - GMU has SOAP interfaces to GRASS, maybe we can try those?)
  - Example: Extract grid values at a set of point locations. GRASS function is v.what.raster. GMU's SOAP interface is described on their site and as part of a conference abstract. Such a web service has multiple uses for air quality applications including:
    - Comparing fire occurrence locations derived from surface or satellite data with thermal imagery from another satellite
    - Extracting land cover type for fire locations
    - Comparing measured surface particulate matter concentrations with estimated concentrations from air pollution or smoke forecast models
    - Comparing measured surface air pollutant concentrations with satellite derived indicators (e.g., AOT, NO2 column)
- Spatial reprojection service for data arrays (reprojections services I've found operate only on GeoTiffs)
