This wiki is the collaboration workspace for Topical Workshop on Networking Air Quality Observations and Models, Aug 23-25, 2011, Stomorska, Island Solta, Croatia

Announcement | Registration | Venue | Contacts | Participants

About the Workshop:

What is the GEO Air Quality CoP? It is a self-organized voluntary group that fosters the application of Earth observations to air quality management and science
What is the theme of the workshop? Technical realization and expansion of the Air quality Data Network (ADN) for sharing observations and models
Why the ADN? There is a common need for a non-intrusive data flow infrastructure by Data Portals, Decision Support Systems, Science Teams and other Initiatives
Who are the workshop participants? They are practicing data system developers and managers affiliated with air quality data hubs in Europe and North America
What will be topics of discussion? Assessing the state of ADN including key impediments; co-development of server software and tools; sharing best practices
What are the anticipated outputs? Agreement on community WCS server for grid and point data; server governance, distributed catalog; workshop summary
What are the anticipated outcomes? Better understanding of the network, higher level of trust and concrete steps toward turning the ADN from virtual to real


Networking Air Quality Observations and Models: From Virtual to Real
