-===Purpose:===
+__NOTOC__
-Bring together those organizations and individuals with key roles in retrieving, storing, disseminating and analyzing air quality data in order to explore efficient means of leveraging the numerous operations underway, and to assist EPA/OAQPS in defining its role in the larger air quality data community.

-# Develop an understanding of various, related air quality data processing programs/systems.
+* Top of Workspace page
-# Based on 1, consider developing a community-wide strategy that enhances communications across these systems by identifying efficiencies, minimizing redundancies, and addressing user defined needs.
+===Summary of Air Quality Data, Data Processing, and Data Analysis Systems===
-# Provide guidance to EPA/OAQPS regarding the role of AirQuest to work interactively with these systems and to service broader community needs.

-(Room Cxxx)	Notes: Mangus
-** System Redundancies…wasteful or necessary?
-** Efficient Data Transfer for optimum data display and analysis
-** Integration of Modeling, Emissions, Monitoring, Meteorological  and Satellite data
-** Technical and Institutional obstacles
-* Group B – User needs - Schichtel/Engel-Cox
-(Room Cxxx)	Notes: Frank
-** How to best utilize and integrate existing graphical front ends (e.g. VIEWS/AirNow Tech/Air Explorer).
-** User friendly system design to accommodate needs of general public and specialized data analysts.
-** Desired data applications:
-*** Access, sort (and aggregate) by time, space and pollutant species key base year and future scenario CMAQ simulations; create tabular and graphical/map displays.
-*** Access, sort by time, space and pollutant species, emissions data associated with CMAQ simulations, above; create tabular and graphical/map displays.
-*** Access, sort by time, space and pollutant species AQS, IMPROVE, CASTNET ambient, surface-based observations; create tabular and graphical/map displays.
-** Desired Data Applications:
-*** Create graphical/map displays generally for CMAQ, emissions, and ambient, surface-based observations
-*** Access, sort by time, space and pollutant species NASA satellite data sets available through DataFed-ESIP; Giovanni, AirQuest, RSIG or other repositories.
