Session Questions
Current Business Uses and Users
Who are example important business users and what do they want to DO with the data and why? If they were here, what three things would they tell us to focus on now?
Add content here:
Future Business Uses and Users
What trends/needs do you see, or do your users tell you about for future business uses? Where is/could this go, even if all your users are not thinking about it/asking yet?
Add content here:
IT Issues
What are broad data needs and capabilities to support these uses? What are the gaps and opportunities? What do these needs and capabilities require of US as a community of providers?
Add content here:
Non-Technical Issues
What are key non-IT requirements and challenges to delivering those needs/capabilities? What do WE need to do as individual resources and as a community? Examples of what we mean by non-IT: Security: that agency policy around access is unclear, or there is no incentive to work through the process for approval to get access. Don't want a discussion of gaps in joint authentication mechanisms; Discovery: that we lack a common way to describe data resources and an incentive to register them. Don't' want a discussion of UDDI vs. FDGC.

Data System Profile
| DataSystemAppFcstReAnaly | |
|---|---|
| 3D-AQS | Not Given |
| AIRNow | AIRNow-Tech is the main technical portal for the forecasters and analysts to query, process, and display air quality and meteorological data. Typical types of applications include:
|
| CASTNET | CASTNET data from 35 sites are currently submitted to AIRNow. The remainder of network sites are planned for submission in 2008. |
| CMAQ | The US EPA and other organizations run CMAQ in near “real-time” to provide daily forecasts of air quality based on model predictions of ozone and PM2.5 |
| DataFed | |
| EMF | Feed emissions for air quality modeling for the purposes of air quality forecasting |
| EPA AIRQuest Data Warehouse | Not Given |
| EPA AQS | To my knowledge, this data is not used in forecasting. |
| ESIP | Not Given |
| GIOVANNI | MERRA: MODERN ERA RETROSPECTIVE-ANALYSIS FOR RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS (1979 – 2008) NASA reanalysis of atmospheric observations from using GEOS-5, focusing on hydrological cycle, resolution 1/2x2/3x72 |
| GeoWeb | Not Given |
| HEI | Yes, based on existing user community |
| NARSTO | No. |
| NASA Atmospheric Science Data Center | Atmospheric profiling and vertical structure |
| NEISGEI | Not Given |
| RSIG | Not Given |
| Unidata IDD Data System | Most of the operational weather forecasts are available in real-time as are many regional and local forecasts generated at user sites. These can be coupled with plume dispersion, storm surge, hydrological, wild fire, and other models. |
