Objective:
Assemble air pollution monitoring scientists (satellite and surface sensor data producers), information scientists and technology developers, and air quality researchers and managers to begin defining guidelines and best practices in creating web networks and applications that use satellite and surface data for assessment, analysis and modeling of air quality. For purposes of framing the discussion, the group will focus on NO2 monitoring, analysis, modeling and applications.
