information on the whitepaper posted:<br />
http://earthcube.ning.com/profiles/blogs/announcement-please-post-your-whitepapers<br />
<br />
Also, we can see the white papers submitted so far:<br />
http://earthcube.ning.com/page/background-reading<br />
<br />

* Who will present the whitepaper?<br />
** The following cannot present: Chris, Ruth, Hook, Brian<br />
** The following may be attending: (Erin or Carol), Christine, Rahul<br />
* Where is the charrette?<br />
** Arlington<br />
<br />
=== Plans for awarded Discovery Testbed implementation ===<br />
<br />
==== Meeting Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Discovery cluster submitted testbed to ESIP Products and Services committee<br />
** Awarded to ESRI, lead by Christine White<br />
<br />
* What could ESRI do that would be useful for the ESIP discovery cluster?<br />
** What are the goals?<br />
** What are the success criteria?<br />
<br />
* Christine can present status/progress at Winter Meeting<br />
<br />
* Solicitation was about...<br />
** Testbed for interoperability testing<br />
** Used for advertising ESIP community services<br />
** Services to data broker (identifies services that are compatible with data) ("Icing on the cake")<br />
<br />
* ESRI's response:<br />
** Responded to 3 of the tasks, selected for task 2<br />
** using open source GeoPortal server software as a base<br />
*** can be extended/modified/etc. without concern<br />
** Some of the RFP features are available out of the box (GeoRSS/Atom results)<br />
** Development would be useful for orgs outside of ESIP<br />
** the hours of the project will be billed for conversations with ESIP, development will be paid for by ESRI<br />
** ESRI gets first-hand information/use cases for developing this data portal<br />
** Cluster gets a useful testbed for advertising services/datasets, etc. for RFP<br />
<br />
* What sort of impact should the RFP have on Discovery Cluster? What can be coordinated by ESRI?<br />
** Anyone using GeoPortal automatically cast datasets?<br />
*** All providers using GeoPortal can be aggregated using data casting standards.<br />
** Is it possible to get "automatic" casting from GeoPortal?<br />
** Ruth clarifies casting from GeoPortal.<br />
<br />
* What is the best way for cluster to collaborate with ESRI?<br />
** Ruth: NSIDC can talk to ESRI about what the GeoPortal should have (i.e., casting capabilities)<br />
** Hook: what about the OpenSearch front-end, GeoPortal has uses OpenSearch...<br />
** Chris: seeking a "standing" server where people can write and test OpenSearch clients<br />
** Christine: GeoPortal can be used to register data and services, it can also be an endpoint for testing clients<br />
** Chris: would the GeoPortal server respond to OpenSearch request<br />
*** Christine: it should<br />
** GeoPortal is not the interface at geoportal.org<br />
** Hook: suggests a starting point - a place for community members to register OpenSearch services, casting services, etc.<br />
*** GeoPortal can be used to register and search services<br />
** Christine offered to give a demo of a "vanilla" GeoPortal server<br />
*** '''This can be a topic of next month's telecon.'''<br />
** Christine will coordinate with Hook and Brian to produce an interesting demo<br />
<br />
* What is the timeline for the work?<br />
** ESRI is flexible on the timeline (response was to have work completed within one year)<br />
<br />
* What are the success criteria?<br />
** <br />
<br />
ESRI GeoPortal Source: [http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/geoportal/index.html]<br />
<br />
=== ESIP 2012 Winter session planning ===<br />
<br />
* What are the Discovery Cluster topics?<br />
** One topic may be a recap of the charrette, joint breakout of discovery and ESC<br />
** Basic planning meeting, to plan goals for the next six months<br />
*** Discuss plans for moving forward on the testbed<br />
** Workshop/breakout for GeoPortal demo or progress report<br />
** Need titles, main speakers, short abstract by next week for scheduling a winter meeting session<br />
* Proposed Sessions<br />
** a face-to-face meeting for wrapping up DCPs<br />
*** New DCPs<br />
**** DCP for error handling not discussed (but it is implied for OpenSearch to use HTTP error codes)<br />
** Casting demos<br />
*** The theme is collaboration, how can casting/discovery conventions support collaboration<br />
*** Ruth will be able to show next step beyond July demo (aggregating casts from distributed sources, making available to portal using OpenSearch)<br />
*** Need to focus on demos/use cases that align with collaboration theme<br />
** Part of planning session: What are the implications for discovery conventions in the ESC?<br />
*** How do we move forward on a more collaborative discovery cluster?<br />
*** How can the discovery services meet the requirements of the ESC? (joint-session with ESC)<br />
* Winter meeting is shorter, so not as much time for demos/workshops<br />
* The ESRI demo/participation in Winter Meeting will be coordinated by the Discovery cluster<br />
* ACTION ITEM: Submit the abstracts for the Winter Meeting sessions<br />
<br />
=== DCP-3 ===<br />
[[Discovery_Change_Proposal-3]]<br />
<br />
* Is the Discovery cluster defining the "types" that are allowable?<br />
** the convention should be totally open, no constraints on what values are used<br />
* Using plurals to differentiate collections of data and services vs. individual services<br />
** use "serviceCast" and "collectionCast" instead of "collections" and "services"<br />
* Should differentiate between data available from FTP and data offered through OPeNDAP<br />
* Anyone can add examples to the wiki<br />
* What about structured metadata file?<br />
** What's the metadata format (ISO would be an example)?<br />
* Add example for OpenSearch Description Document (has its own mime/type)</div>157.55.34.168https://wiki.esipfed.org/w/index.php?title=CF_Standard_Names_-_Discussed_Atmospheric_Chemistry_and_Aerosol_Terms&diff=40748CF Standard Names - Discussed Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol Terms2012-09-01T17:48:46Z<p>157.55.34.168: Reverted edits by Ted.Habermann (talk) to last revision by Christiane</p>

Christiane Textor, July 2007<br />

<br />
It is the philosophy of CF only define those standard_names for which a demand has been expressed. The proposed standard_names on this page are needed for a model intercomparison of three CTMs within the Global and regional Earth-system (Atmosphere) Monitoring using Satellite and in-situ data [http://www.ecmwf.int/research/EU_projects/GEMS/index.jsp GEMS] project within the theme Global Reactive Gases (GRG). In addition, most of these names probably will be needed within the Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution [http://www.htap.org/ TF HTAP].<br />
<br />
The proposed standard_names listed below are based on the ideas provided at [[CF Standard Names - Future Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol Terms|Construction of Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol Terms and Future Standard_Names]]. They are constructed from name components and species mentioned in tables 1 and 2 of this page.<br />

__TOC__<br />
==1. Introduction==<br />
This report articulates Earth observation priorities for the Human Health: Air Quality SBA based on an analysis of 60 publicly-available documents, including documents produced by Group on Earth Observations (GEO) member countries and participating organizations. <br />
<br />
===1.1 GEO and Societal Benefit Areas===<br />
The Group on Earth Observations (GEO, www.earthobservations.org) is an intergovernmental organization working to improve the availability, access, and use of Earth observations to benefit society. GEO is coordinating efforts to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). GEOSS builds on national, regional, and international observation systems to provide coordinated Earth observations from thousands of ground, airborne, and space-based instruments. GEO is focused on enhancing the development and use of Earth observations in nine Societal Benefit Areas (SBA): Agriculture, Biodiversity, Climate, Disasters, Ecosystems, Energy, Human Health, Water, Weather<br />
<br />
===1.2 GEO Task US-09-01a===<br />
The objective of GEO Task US-09-01a is to establish and conduct a process to identify critical Earth observation priorities within each Societal Benefit Area (SBA) and those common to the nine SBAs. Many countries and organizations have written reports, held workshops, sponsored projects, conducted surveys, and produced documents that specify Earth observation needs. In addition, researchers and practitioners have also identified and recommended key Earth observation needs in publications and peer-reviewed literature. Task US-09-01a focuses on compiling information on observation parameters from a representative sampling of these existing materials and conducting analyses across the materials to determine priority observations. <br />
<br />
* 10-year implementation plan note.<br />
===1.3 Purpose of Report===<br />
The primary purpose of this report is to articulate the critical Earth observation priorities for the Human Health SBA, specifically Air Quality as it affects health and well-being. The Human Health SBA EO priorities are addressed by two additional reports within GEO Task US-0901a: Infections Diseases and Aeroallergens . The intent of the report is to describe the overall process and specific methodologies used to identify documents, analyze them, and to determine a set of Earth observation parameters and characteristics. The report describes the prioritization methodologies used to determine the priority Earth observations for this SBA. The report also provides information on key challenges faced, feedback on the process, and recommendations for process improvements. <br />
<br />
The primary audience for this report is the GEO User Interface Committee (UIC), which is managing Task US-09-01a for GEO. The GEO UIC will use the results of this report in combination with reports from the other eight SBAs. The GEO UIC will perform a meta-analysis across all nine SBA reports to identify critical Earth observation priorities common to many of the SBAs. Based on the nine SBA reports, the GEO UIC will produce an overall Task US-09-01a report, including the common observations and recommendations for GEO processes to determine Earth observation priorities in the future. The report’s authors anticipate that the GEO Secretariat, Committees, Member Countries, Participating Organizations, Observers, Communities of Practice, and the broader communities associated with the Human Health and other SBAs are additional audiences for this report.<br />
<br />
===1.4 Scope of Report ===<br />
This report addresses the Earth observation priorities for the Human Health SBA. In particular, this report addresses the sub-area of Air Quality within the Human Health SBA (see Section 3 for more details). The report provides some background and contextual information about Air Quality and Health. However, this report is not intended as a handbook or primer on Air Quality and Health, and a complete description of the Human Health SBA is beyond the scope of this report. Please consult the GEO website (http://www.earthobservations.org) for more information about the Human Health SBA. <br />
<br />
The report focuses on the Earth observations for Air Quality and Health, independent of any specific technology or collection method. Thus, the report addresses the “demand” side of observation needs and priorities. It does not address the specific source of the observations or the sensor technology involved with producing the observations. Similarly, any discussions of visualization tools, decision support tools, or system processing characteristics (e.g., data format, data outlet) associated with the direct use of the observations are beyond the scope of this report.<br />
<br />
The term ''Earth observation'' (EO) refers to parameters and variables (e.g., physical, geophysical, chemical, biological) sensed or measured, derived parameters and products, and related parameters from model outputs. The term ''Earth observation priorities'' refers to the parameters deemed of higher significance than others for the given SBA, as determined through the methodologies described within. The report uses the terms “''user needs''” and “''user requirements''” interchangeably to refer to Earth observations that are articulated and desired by the groups and users in the cited documents. The term “requirements” is used generally in the report to reflect users’ wants and needs and does not imply technical, engineering specifications. <br />
<br />
Following this introduction, the report discusses the overall approach and methodologies used in this analysis (Section 2). Section 3 describes the Human Health SBA and the specific sub-areas. Section 4 articulates the specific Earth observations on Air Quality for Human Health and well-being. Section 5 presents the priority observations for Air Quality and Health. Sections 6 and 7 present additional findings from the analysis of the documents and any recommendations. The Appendices include the documents cited as well as additional information describing aspects of Air Quality and Human Health and Welfare.<br />
<br />
== 2. Methodology and Process==<br />
This section documents the general process followed and describes the specific methodologies used to identify documents, analyze them, determine Earth observation parameters and characteristics, and establish a set of priority Earth observations for this SBA. It (1) outlines the general task process approach, (2) identifies the analyst and the advisory group and (3) describes the methodologies used for this meta analysis, which consist of (a) document selection, (b) an approach for defining and extracting AQ EO needs and (c) analytical methods for prioritizing Earth Observations for AQ. <br />
<br />
===2.1 Task Process===<br />
The GEO UIC established a general, but uniform, process that is to be applied by each of the SBAs. The intent is to ensure a level of consistency across the SBAs. This general process for each SBA involves nine steps, as summarized in the following list: <br />
*Step 1: Identify Analyst and Advisory Group for the SBA <br />
*Step 2: Determine scope of topics within the SBA<br />
*Step 3: Identify documents regarding observation priorities for the SBA <br />
*Step 4: Develop analytic methods and priority-setting criteria<br />
*Step 5: Review and analyze documents for priority Earth observations needs<br />
*Step 6: Combine the information and develop a preliminary report<br />
*Step 7: Gather feedback on the preliminary report<br />
*Step 8: Perform any additional analysis<br />
*Step 9: Complete the report on Earth observations for the SBA <br />
<br />
A detailed description of the general US-09-01a process is available at the Task website, http://sbageotask.larc.nasa.gov, or the GEO website. Some steps in the process occurred simultaneously or iteratively, such as identifying documents (Step 3) and reviewing documents (Step 5).<br />
<br />
===2.1 Analyst and Advisory Group===<br />
The Health and Air Quality group included an “Analyst” and an “Advisory Group” to conduct the process of identifying documents, analyzing them, and prioritizing the Earth observations. The Analyst served as the main coordinator to manage the activities. <br />
<br />
==== 2.2.1 Analysts ====<br />
The Analysts for this Air Quality and Health EO Requirement Report were Drs. Rudolf Husar (lead analyst) and Stefan Falke (co-analyst). Rudolf Husar is a Professor of Energy. Environmental and Chemical Engineering and director of Center for Air Pollution Impact and Trend Analysis (CAPITA) at Washingon University in St. Louis, MO. Over the past 35 years Husar conducted parallel research in air pollution (sources, transport, transformations, effects) and in environmental informatics i.e. the application of science, engineering and technology to environmental information processing. Husar has served on committees of NAS, EPA CASAC as well as international advisory groups, including WMO, IGAC. Recently Husar's research group has actively participated in various aspects of the evolving GEOSS, including the GEOSS Common infrastructure (GCI), the Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP), and the GEOSS Air Quality Community of Practice (CoP). Stefan Falke is a Research Assistant Professor of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and Manager of Geospatial Information Services for Energy and Environment at Northrop Grumman. Stefan serves as co-chair, with Rudolf Husar, of the Earth Science Information Partners Federation (ESIP) Air Quality Workgroup, which fosters interaction among satellite, aerial, surface, and modeled data producers, brokers, and consumers, and that is setting the foundation for an international GEOSS Air Quality Community of Practice. He has also recently been appointed to lead the Atmospheric Science Interest Group within the Working Group on Information Systems & Services (WGISS) in the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) with an initial focus on interoperability in access, tools, and contextual guidance for using remotely sensed atmospheric composition information across multiple countries.<br />
<br />
The Analysts prepared this report through funding from EPA, though a subcontract to ERG, Jan Connery, Project Officer.<br />
<br />
==== 2.2.2 Advisory Group ====<br />
<br />
The first step in the nine-step GEO Task US-09-01a process is the formation of an expert Advisory Group (AG) that helps identify appropriate documents, provides feedback on the analysis approach and also reviews the preliminary and final reports. For the Air Quality and Health SBA, 18 potential AG members were identified. The sources of AG candidate names came from the UIC, major Agency representatives and the Analyst team. Additional AG candidates were suggested by the AG members themselves. Eleven of the invited candidates responded favorably, two invitations were declined, three candidates did not respond and two candidates are still pending. Effort was made to include representatives from developing nations and to achieve a representation across geographic domains. Additional AG members would be desirable, particularly from developing countries.<br />
<br />
The current Advisory Group consists of 11 experts from the field of Health and Air Quality or some subset thereof. Table 1 shows the Advisory Group members, including: Name, GEO Member Country or Participating Organization, Organizational Affiliation, Geographic Region, Specialty/Area of Expertise. Overall, the Advisory Group includes members from 7 countries and 5 continents, including 3 from developing countries. Five AG members have parallel expertise in air quality as well as human health. <br />

<br />
The primary roles of the AG were to assist in identifying documents, assess methodologies and analytic techniques, assess prioritization schemes, review findings, and review the project report. The primary forms of communication with the AG were email and through the [http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/GEO_User_Requirements_for_Air_Quality interactive open project wiki page]. This report was prepared using an interactive wiki page on the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) server. The members of the Analyst group used the wiki to collaboratively create the content, perform the editing and to share the evolving report with the Advisory Group. The open wiki approach also provided a platform for sharing the document as it evolved and for receiving feedback both from the AG and the GEO Air Quality Community of Practice (ESIP Air Quality Work Group). The wiki, being a living, participating document, facilitates future expansion or revision of this Critical Observations for Air Quality beyond the limited period of this initial GEO task.<br />
<br />
===2.3 Methodology===<br />
This section is a summary of analytic methods and approaches the Analyst used to identify documents, analyze them, and establish a set of priority Earth observations. No standard approaches are available for establishing EO requirements and priorities applicable to all SBAs. The GEO Task Leader, Lawrence Friedl, has encouraged the Analysts of each SBA to be innovative and possibly consider multiple approaches toward developing their respective methodologies for EO requirements and priorities. However, strong emphasis was placed on the need to describe and document the chosen methodologies. <br />
<br />
====2.3.1 Document Selection====<br />
This section provides a general description of the process/method/approach the Analyst/AG used to identify documents and select a representative sampling for the analysis. [http://wiki.esipfed.org/images/0/02/GEO_Task_US0901a_-_Overview.pdf Task US-09-01a methodology] recommended the examination of a wide range of publicly available, geographically distributed sources for potentially relevant documents, including: International, regional, and national documents, project reports, surveys, workshop and conference summaries and peer-reviewed journal articles.<br />
<br />
For the identification of candidate documents, the Analyst used three sources: documents that were known to the Analyst; documents recommended by the [[GEO User Requirements for Air Quality Documents-AG|Advisory Group]] and documents retrieved through online searches. The documents (5) from the Analyst's prior knowledge were based on decades of experience in AQ data analysis, network design and decision support for AQ management. The documents (15) provided by the AG contributed a broad range of educated perspectives as well as geographic coverage of developing countries. The online web searches focused on websites of international, regional, and national organizations engaged in Air Quality and Health, such as WHO, CDC and HEI. Online searches yielded most of the selected documents. The general online searches included search for published articles through Google Scholar and also general Google search using combination of keywords, such as 'air pollution', 'health', 'Africa'. <br />
<br />
The above selection process for qualified documents relies on expert judgment and is inherently subjective. Effort was made to select documents that contain specific statements on the EO requirements, documents that report EOs, and documents that discuss EO requirements for AQ. As with previous analyses conducted for other SBAs, documents that contain such complete and directly applicable information were found to be rare. Hence, the key criteria for selection was that the document had to contain references to specific AQ EO parameters and attributes that are either needed or currently in use. In fact, most documents contain information on specific air pollutants, spatial and temporal coverage and resolution, and some information on data quality. <br />
<br />
Once a document was identified as relevant it was assigned a number, a hard copy was printed and a table was attached to help the analysts extract the needed information about coverage, spatial and temporal resolution, accuracy and latency for each parameter identified in the document. The table included a form for information about the document: the title, region, document type and AQ subcategory as well as any EO needs. This document information along with an online link to the document was stored on a wiki webpage the group devoted to each document. The wiki pages were used to deposit both structured metadata and also loose annotations on each document. These metadata were contributed by several members of the AQ and Health Analyst group. In this manner, an online catalog of all documents was created. <br />
<br />
The EO characteristics extracted from each selected document and deposited in the 'tables', constitute the main source of information for this meta analysis. The EOs are tabulated using the methodology given is section 2.3.2. The EO priorities are then derived using a set of objective and subjective weighing factors described in section 2.3.3.<br />
<br />
<br />
====2.3.2 Analytic Methods for Gathering EOs ====<br />
The EO Requirements methodology development started with guidance provided by the Task leader in the form of a standard table for recording EOs from the documents. These standardized tables were to be used for each SBA report and intended for cross-SBA integration of the EO needs. During the methodology development, it became evident that additional attributes were required for the AQ EO needs and priorities. This report also benefited from the examination/evaluation of the completed GEO EO Priority Reports for Climate, Energy and Disasters SBAs. <br />
<br />
The documents identified in Section 2.3.1 were visually scanned by the Analyst team 3-5 times. The first scan focused on the general suitability of the document for consideration in this assessment as outlined above. During the second scan, detailed data extraction was performed and recorded into the document's metadata record. It yielded a list of AQ-Health-related EOs and other factual data regarding the observations (e.g. coverage, space and time resolution, accuracy, latency, geographic region, document type.. etc). The purpose of the third scan was to seek additional EO requirements that could only be inferred from the documents. The nature of the inference were also noted in the document's metadata record. Since the metadata extraction methodology evolved during the four month analysis period (June-September 2009), the document scans were performed iteratively. <br />
<br />
A key aspect of the methodology development consisted of choosing the sub-areas of the AQ domain: Pollutant Emissions, Transport, Ambient levels, Human Exposure. The rationale for choosing this division is stated and described in section 3.2. For each sub-area the EO status and desired requirements were compiled separately. A further subdivision of the user requirements was made by geographic region of World. In the subsequent analysis the user requirements defined along these two dimensions were aggregated to yield the overall needs for Air Quality and Health. The resulting analyzes of the gathered metadata are shown later in Section 3.3.<br />
<br />
==== 2.3.3 EO Prioritization fro AQ and Health ====<br />
<br />
The parameters mentioned in each document were pulled together in a master spreadsheet to begin the prioritization process. For a given document, the title, ID given by analysts, region, document type and content type were entered. The parameters for each document were listed as columns and the doc ID number was used as a 'check mark' in the column's grid cell if a particular pollutant was present in the document. A count of each column provided a bibliometric analysis of the most frequently mentioned parameters. The list was then sorted twice, first by content type and then by region. Each region/content type was counted. For each content type, two tables were made with pollutants as the rows and geographic regions of the world as the columns for each content type. One table was for references for each region for each pollutant and the other table was the count that was mentioned for each pollutant for each region for each content type. This aided prioritization by identifying cross-cutting parameters and spatial gaps.<br />
<br />
The main purpose of EOs for AQ and Health is to estimate the effects of air pollutants on human health and to help reduce these effects. The air pollution effects on human health are measured by the exposure of population to air pollutants in the ambient air. The exposure of a person is measured as the near-surface concentration of multiple air pollutants integrated over time. Exposure of an entire population is an integral of the individual exposures over space. Hence, the population exposure can be expressed as follows. <br />
<br />
PopExposure = int_space int_time sum(C(i,s,t)*w(i))* P(s,t) ds dt = int_space int_time AQI ds dt = <br />
<math>Insert formula here</math><br />
<br />
where ''C(i,s,t)'' stands for the surface concentration ''C'' of an air pollutant, ''i'', at location ''s'' and time ''t''. The factor ''w(i)'' is health-relevant weight factor for each pollutant. The weighed sum over all pollutants is the chemical air quality index (AQI) to which an individual is exposed. The AQI = sum (C(i,s,t)*w(i)) is the air quality index (AQI) and depends on the chemical pollutant mix as well as space and time. AQI is obtained by direct measurement or alternate means for estimating individual pollutants concentrations (e.g. AQ model or surrogate measurements). The health-relevant pollutant weight factors arise from epidemiological health studies. <br />
<br />
P(s,t) is the space and time-dependent population density and the product of AQI*P is the population exposure density for a specific location and time. The exposure of the entire population over time is obtained by integrating the population exposure density over space and time. <br />
<br />
The population exposure estimation for the entire global population is currently very uncertain. The overall uncertainty is contributed by the (1) lack of proper chemical measurement methods for the complex mixture of air pollutants; (2) by the poor and highly variable coverage represented by the spatial and temporal integrals and (3) uncertainty of the concentration dose-health response relationship. <br />
<br />
Our method of EO prioritization for AQ and Health is based on the above causality-based model: Priority is given to EOs that reduce the uncertainty of population exposure estimation. The exposure uncertainty is separated into the (1) chemical measurements and (2) spatial and temporal coverage. In other words, the highest priority is assigned to EOs that provide the most direct indicator of health effects and also contribute most to the spatial and temporal coverage. <br />
<br />
The analytic method for this meta analysis includes multiple factors that are combined to yield a prioritized list of EOs. Combining these factors was accomplished by the use of weights attached to each factor and subsequently adding the weighed contributions to each EO priority. Hence, the outcome of the prioritization was derived from the selection of suitable factors and their respective weights. Selecting the factors that influence the EO needs is based on subjective judgment that is derived from the current understanding of the Air Quality-Health topic. For the derivation of the weight factors effort was made to apply as much as possible objective measures.<br />
<br />
The analysts used three factors to prioritize the EO needs. The first was a bibliographic method to determine which pollutants were cited most. The second factor weighted the EOs for their potency (or how close they were to the actual cause of sickness) the EOs for coverage and the third factor weighed the EOs by their coverage. <br />
<br />
For the bibliometric methods (OTA, 1986), priority was assigned based on the relative frequency with which an observation was cited by the documents. The pollutant potency factor was taken from health studies (epidemiological). The coverage factor for the EO priorities was based on the 'gap' between the current EO coverage and the desired EO coverage. The longer the gap, the higher is the coverage priority.<br />
<br />
==3. Air Quality and Health SBA ==<br />
<br />
The distinguishing characteristics of the AQH SBA are: (1) The pollutant classes of most health significance are known from many epidemiological studies but AQH is a relatively narrow subject area compared to other SBAs. <br />
* Well defined needs for atmospheric compositions based on health effects<br />
* Large regional variation in the global coverage of EOs for AQH<br />
<br />
These characteristics lead the Analyst team to organize this AQH EO assessment and prioritization document by global sub regions. <br />
<br />
Additional sub-division EOs along the <br />
<br />
* Causality chain: Emission, Transport, Ambient, Exposure<br />
* End Uses: Informing Public, AQ Management, Science<br />

----<br />
Progress on improving air quality and decreasing acidic and toxic deposition (AQ) has been made in many parts of the world, particularly over North America and Europe, although problems persist or are getting worse in some less developed countries. The reductions in emissions that have brought about AQ improvements were motivated by scientific evidence of adverse impacts to health and welfare and have been accomplished through implementation of science-based policies and/or advances in technology nations.<br />
<br />
Air pollution is caused primarily as the result of human activities and also mitigated by societal actions for reducing the levels of air pollution. <br />
<br />
In the industrial world, the overwhelming majority of air pollution is caused by the combustion of energy-producing fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas.... <br />
hence the link to energy SBA,<br />
<br />
Air pollutants also participate in the human-induced changes in the atmosphere hence climate link (visibility, dimming, global warming). <br />
<br />
Air pollution also causes ecological effect (through acidification, ozone damage) ... link to ecosystems SBA<br />
<br />
In many areas of the world, the ambient pollutants originate from biomass burning (agricultural), forest, Savannah or agricultural fires or dust storms. ... links to disasters SBA.<br />
<br />

AQHI=10/10.4*(100*(EXP(0.000871*NO2)-1+ EXP(0.000537*O3)-1 + EXP(0.000487*PM2.5)-1))<br />
<br />
=== 3.1 Air Quality and Health Description === <br />
The Health SBA aims to understand and quantify the environmental factors affecting human health and well-being. According to the GEO 10-Year Plan Implementation Plan: <br />
<br />
''Health issues with Earth observation needs include: airborne, marine, and water pollution; stratospheric ozone depletion; persistent organic pollutants; nutrition; and monitoring weather-related disease vectors. GEOSS will improve the flow of appropriate environmental data and health statistics to the health community promoting a focus on prevention and contributing to the continued improvements in human health worldwide.'' <br />
<br />
The Air Quality and Health is a sub-area of the Health SBA. It examines the role of outdoor air quality for human health and well-being.<br />
===3.2 Air Quality Sub-Areas ===<br />
Earth Observations for Health and Air Quality are not uniformly distributed. For this report, the Analysts classified priority EOs for different geographic regions using the physical breakdown shown in the table below. Earth Observations are needed at each stage from the emission of the pollutant to the population exposure.<br />
[http://pubs.healtheffects.org/view.php?id=153 HEI Accountability Chain]<br />
<br />
===3.2 Earth Observations: Types and Quality ===<br />
Earth observations for Air Quality and Health have many dimensions, or facets, and therefore require a range of attributes for a full characterization and description. The natural dimensions of EOs are captured by measured parameters as well as their spatial and temporal extent. Each physical dimension is also characterized by the resolution of the observation, i.e. spatial and temporal resolution, and the possible grouping/lumping/binning of the measured parameters. Other facets of EOs include relevancy to the application, data quality, tracability, timeliness, etc.<br />
<br />
For the most part, EOs cannot be used directly as raw data for decision making. Value adding processes (data filtering, aggregation and fusion) are needed to derive decision-ready products. The complementary use of EOS with air quality models is particularly important given the model’s potential to characterize multiple pollutant species across variable spatial and temporal scales. The more difficult characterization of EOs is along the value chain from the raw observed data to the derived information and knowledge that is useful for decision making. A typical derived parameters is the air pollution index, an aggregate of multiple air pollutant concentrations, that informs the public on the general level of air pollution and facilitates personal decision making. Similarly, compliance with an AQ standard (derived from multi-year data series) informs an air quality manager whether an AQ control action is required. <br />

Identifying the key users is a necessity for proper evaluation of their Earth Observation (EO) needs. In this report uses and user categories are represented in a two dimensional matrix. The first dimension is the end-use category. An end user uses the EO for making a personal or societal decision. We consider three groups of end-users of air quality-relevant observations: general public, air quality managers, and air quality policy makers. Each end user group has different information needs. The respective information needs for each end user category will be determined.<br />
<br />
The second dimension of EO user classification is along the value chain that transforms the raw observations into suitable information for the decision-makers (end users). Data managers and data flow mediators are a class of users who are responsible for the timely, robust and proper flow of EOs to the SBA application. These users, can be considered part ot the GEO information infrastructure. Intermediate users include researchers, analysts, and modelers who digest and prepare the raw observations in a manner that is suitable for the end-users' decision making needs. The consumers of the processed EOs are the end-users listed above. Classifying users along the value adding chain would aid consistency with the GEOSS data sharing infrastructure, the right information is delivered to the right user. It is here recognized that public documents that explicitly address the information requirements for each user class in the 2D user matrix will be sparse.<br />
<br />
*Emphasis on quality control… at all stages of the data flow.<br />

* GEOSS will be a vital means of bringing useful environmental data to the health community in a user friendly form. Comprehensive data sets are powerful tools that support prevention, early warning, research, epidemiology, health care planning and delivery, and provide a variety of timely public alerts. For example, by linking weather, air quality data and the urban heat island effects, air quality forecasts can help protect asthmatics, the elderly and the young from cardiovascular and respiratory problems resulting from air pollution episodes. These data can also provide linkages to longer-term air quality impacts such as cancers, respiratory diseases, asthma and birth defects.<br />

AQ Burden x Dose Responsex Population density<br />

<br />
<br />
However, the ambient concentration of air pollutants is highly variable in space and time and is documented the least. Hence, the main uncertainty of health effects is the inadequate pollutant information on the global scale of air pollution, particularly over urban-industrial areas where people reside.<br />
<br />
The second source of uncertainty arises from not knowing what the harming pollutant concentration is. This uncertainty is contributed from the lack of EOs at the desired space and time. For instance large fractions of Africa, Asia and S. America have no AQ monitors and hence the concentrations are not known.<br />
<br />
--------C O V E R A G E ---------<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Satellite Needs for AQ also coverage: The current observation system for AQ is woefully inadequate to monitor population exposure and develop effective emission control strategies. Surface air measurement networks have insufficient coverage, and are generally lacking in the developing world. (Edwards, et Al., 2006)<br />

<br />
<br />
transportation emissions are high (Vliet and Kinney, 2007). It is reasonable to ask how current ambient particulate matter concentrations in SSA cities compare with these values.Unfortunately, very little monitoring data exist upon which to base even a preliminary answer. A recent analysis of the global environmental burden of disease due to ambient PM uncovered useful air monitoring data from only three sites in all of SSA<br />
<br />
(Cohen et al 2004).<br />
<br />
Ozone troposphere (Fishman, 2008)<br />

<br />
(111) Cohen 2004 -<br />
<br />
<br />
Future estimates of the global burden of disease due to outdoor air pollution<br />
would benefit from both additional research and methods development.<br />
<br />
There is a critical need for better information on the health effects of air pollution in<br />
developing counties.<br />
<br />
Exposure research should aim to provide better estimates not only of ambient concentrations but also the characteristics of outdoor air pollution, including the contribution of various sources and the size distribution of PM.<br />
<br />
Estimates of uncertainty distributions should more fully incorporate model uncertainties, such as those related to the choice of concentration-response function (National Research Council, 2002).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Emphasis on quality control… at all stages of the data flow.<br />

Multi-pollutant monitoring (Brooks, 2008; Cohen, 2004)<br />

future scenario for ozone(Fowler, 2008)<br />
<br />
In same context, lead is phasing out (CERN, 2009)<br />
<br />
<br />
**** Earth observations for Air Quality and Health have many dimensions or facets, thus require a range of attributes for a full characterization and description. The natural dimensions of EOs are the measured parameters as well as the spatial and temporal extent. Each physical dimension is also characterized by the resolution of the observation, i.e. spatial and temporal resolution, and the possible grouping/lumping of the measured parameters. Other facets of EOs include relevancy to the application, data quality, traceability, timeliness, etc.**** <br />

== Program ==<br />
The theme of the Summer ESIP Federation meeting is ''Realizing Our Potential''. The current interest in cyberinfrastructure and virtual organizations has allowed the ESIP Federation to examine its journey as a prototype. The meeting will examine where we have been and where we will go in our second decade toward realizing the potential of a collaborative, virtual consortium of Earth science data and applications professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Technical Workshops (July 15, 2008) ===<br />
Technical workshops are planned for Tuesday, July 15, 2008. Check back for more details as planning progresses.<br />
<br />
Currently four 'tracks' have been suggested for this year's technical workshops. These include:<br />
<br />
* [[REASoN Project Products and Outcomes]]<br />
<br />
* [[Client Application Experiences and Lessons Learned]]<br />
<br />
* [[Best Practices in Services and Data Interoperability]]<br />
<br />
* [[Open Track - additional relevant technical topics]]<br />
<br />
These 'tracks' would provide an opportunity to group a series of presentations into groups that are thematically related. These workshops will be scheduled in parallel with the already planned DSWG Standards Working Group meeting and DIAL workshop.<br />
<br />
The NASA ESDSWG Standards Process Group will be meeting all day on July 15. This is an open meeting. We also plan to "host" a KML/GeoRSS BOF at lunch on July 16. We'll gather as many people as want to come to sit around a table (or tables) at lunch to talk about NASA use of KML and GeoRSS.<br />
<br />
* [[SPG Agenda, July 15, 2008]]<br />
<br />
===DIAL ACCESS Workshop (all day July 15, 2008)===<br />
Who can attend: any interested party: Please contact Bruce Caron [bruce AT NMRI.org] for information about TRAVEL SUPPORT this workshop.<br />
<br />
This ONE DAY workshop will cover the basics of how to apply DIAL technologies to develop stand-alone, data-rich software applications. The DIAL technology is described here: [http://www.nmri.org/blog/bruce-caron/dial-description DIAL description]<br />
<br />
The workshop will cover the code resources that are available and the remaining coding required to customize the authoring environment for your data distribution needs.<br />
<br />
The Morning Session (9am-Noon) will cover an overview of the technology, and hands on with existing modules and prototype applications. The Morning will focus on the application authoring system and the logic of design for using this system to create custom applications. A look at Adobe Director 11 and at IDL 7 will provide the underpinnings for this effort.<br />
<br />
DIAL will provide lunches for participants.<br />
<br />
The Afternoon Session (1:30-5pm) will be a "Create an Application" from parts supplied, and a discussion about individual needs for further shared code and GUI resources. This will delve into the actual programming of Director and IDL and is designed for the inner nerd.<br />
<br />
Also: the Afternoon session will discuss new technology efforts to add NASA data services into Adobe Flex programming.<br />
<br />
=== Plenary Sessions ===<br />
The plenary sessions during the Summer ESIP Federation meeting will take place on Wednesday, July 16 and Friday morning, July 18. Speaker suggestions are always welcome.<br />

=== FUNding Friday (July 18, 2008) ===<br />
<br />
Ever been to a meeting where the place clears out on the last day? This summer's ESIP Federation meeting will counter that tide by offering its first-ever FUNding Friday. This innovative mini-grant competition allows you to leverage the collaboration potential from the ESIP Federation meeting's interactions. Three $5,000 awards are being offered to meeting registrants who need a little seed money to do something great. Bring your best ideas to the meeting and find your partners during the week. Click here to view the complete [[Media:FUNding_Friday_Description_FINAL.pdf| FUNding Friday Overview]].<br><br />
<br><br />
Committees, Working Groups and Clusters also are invited to meet on Friday, July 18 before 10:30. Check back to see the list of scheuled committee meetings.<br />
<br />
=== Education Demos ===<br />
Throughout the Summer Meeting, representatives from the ESIP Federation's Education Committee will be demonstrating their work. Stop by to see the broader impacts of your research at work. Demo descriptions are posted below as they become available.<br><br />
<br><br />
'''Color and Light: Making the Connection from Satellites to Ground-truthing''' (Brian Rogan)<br />
<br />
Digital Earth Watch (DEW) is a NASA REAsON project that has developed an array of “tools” to help teachers, students and the general public understand what remote sensing is all about and how to connect satellite imagery to local environmental issues.<br />
Using simple filters, digital cameras and other tools, users can build up a connection between what they see in their local environments and what can be detected through LandSat, MODIS, IKONOS and aerial imagery. <br />
I will demo some of the basic tools outdoors to show how the world can be viewed in a different light and what it tells us about the state of the local environment. I will then talk about the software that has been developed to then connect local findings with larger, more complex satellite data from the same location. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
'''The Earth Exploration Toolbook and AccessData Workshop Addressing the Broader Impacts Criteria of Your Science Proposals''' (Tamara Shapiro Ledley)<br />
<br />
The AccessData Workshop (http://serc.carleton.edu/usingdata/accessdata) is focused on making specific Earth science datasets accessible and usable in educational contexts by facilitating teams made up of data providers, data analysis tool specialists, scientists, curriculum developers, and educators to create an Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET, http://serc.carleton.edu/eet) chapter focused on those datasets. In this demo we will describe 1) the process of the AccessData workshop and other parallel processes to help you make your data more accessible and usable by educators, and 2) what an Earth Exploration Toolbook chapter is and how it and DataSheets (http://serc.carleton.edu/usingdata/browse_sheets.html), educationally relevant metadata about a dataset), are developed. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
'''Understanding Hurricanes with Google Earth''' (Margaret Mooney and Steve Kluge)<br />
<br />
This demo will feature the debut of a new EET designed to help teachers <br />
and students explore hurricanes with satellite data displayed via Google <br />
Earth software. By participating in a directed study of the 2005 and <br />
2006 hurricane seasons, students will be able to describe and explain <br />
the conditions that favor or inhibit hurricane development, calculate <br />
the wind and heat energy at different stages of storm development, and <br />
explore real-time data to identify areas of potential hurricane <br />
development. Data sets will include daily and seasonal average SSTs, <br />
weekly and seasonal wind shear, total precipitation, and hurricane <br />
advisory information.<br />
<br />
The real time data displayed with Google Earth can be found at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/media/spotlight/google-earth.htm<br />
