February 12 – 13, 2008
Draft Agenda (013008)
Day 1
(Guidance on the scope and depth of overview talks for this session is needed) see Agenda Design
8:00am Welcome Presentation - Wayland
8:10am Introduction of Participants - All
8:20am Goals and organization: Presentation - Scheffe
- Review summit purpose and objectives
- Review summit goals. By the end of the summit participants will have:
- Learned about the universe of air quality (AQ) data systems and data processing centers.
- Worked in small groups to articulate and document the key non-technical challenges and aspirations in using AQ data for public health & ecological assessments; AQ forecasting and reanalysis for assessment; model/emissions evaluation; and AQ characterization for trends and accountability.
- Used the known key non-technical challenges and aspirations to identify broad attributes and functions of the desired system.
- Worked to identify potential solutions for technical implementation of the desired system.
- Identified a community-wide strategy to continue dialogue and work towards the desired system.
