E
AQS provides no capabilities to model data or to evaluate emissions. However the ground observation data in AQS is used validate model projections of air quality. +
N
Aerosol plume dispersion +
Applies OGC standards for data access and analysis. Creates "mashup" applciations for comparing and reconciling emissions inventories, models, surface observations, and satellite imagery. +
C
CASTNET has been and is continuing to be used as an assessment tool for emission reduction programs such as the Acid Rain Program and the NOx Budget Trading Program. CASTNET data is also used extensively for validation and development of atmospheric models, including CMAQ. +
E
Feed emissions to air quality models. Provide speciated, gridded, and hourly emissions from annual/county unspeciated inventory. +
