Workshop-Next Steps
From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
Two activities were identified to advance the communication and interoperability among NOx data providers, air quality uses, and information technologies:
- Focus on HTAP and exceptional event applications
- Identify other users in these applications and engage in the process
- Reuse and integrate existing projects (Airnow Tech, RSIG, etc.) that support these two applications
- Exceptional Events: Airnow Tech is becoming source for surface data (also satellites)
- HTAP: Model evaluation is needed (e.g., RSIG)
- Use existing and new technologies to support comparison and analysis of satellite, surface monitoring, emissions inventories, and modeled NOx datasets
- Pursue linking of "projects" onto a NOx interoperability network
- Define and capture lineage of data processing and data applications for HTAP and exceptional events
- experiences and examples of using the data and developing applications will define the questions that lineage metadata should answer
- Create diagrams depicting relationships and flows among the various components involved in the HTAP and exceptional event applications
- Demonstrations for EPA OEI Symposium
- Use existing prototypes and demos to showcase the access, visualization, analysis and assessment of the Southern California wildfire smoke
