| |
| − | Visualization Environment for Rich Data Interpretation (VERDI) has been developed as an alternative to PAVE for analyzing the results of CMAQ. This software tool is written in open-source JAVA and is platform independent. VERDI contains most of the functionality of PAVE as well as additional capabilities. In addition to CMAQ outputs, VERDI can also be used to examine data from the Meteorological-Chemistry Input Processor (MCIP) and the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF). A structured reader is included to facilitate development of capabilities for reading other data files. VERDI is intended to be community-based as the source code will be publicly available and user community contributions will be encouraged.

| − | ====[[DataFed]]====
| |
| − | [http://www.datafed.net DataFed] is Web services-based software that non-intrusively mediates between autonomous, distributed data providers and users. DataFed is designed in accordance with the GEOSS architecture, so that it provides standard interfaces to heterogeneous distributed data, fosters data integration and use with processing services and tools, and collects metadata and user-feedback on datasets. DataFed provides access to over 50 distributed, air-quality relevant datasets which can be explored and analyzed by tools for processing and visualization.
| |
| − | ====[[ESIP]]====
| |
| − | The [http://www.esipfed.org Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)] is a consortium of 100+ organizations that collect, interpret and develop applications for remotely sensed Earth observation information. Included in the ESIP network are NASA, NOAA and USGS data centers, research universities, government research laboratories, supercomputing facilities, commercial enterprises, etc. The ESIP Federation is building the Earth Information Exchange, an interface where earth science data, products and tools will be made available. The interface will be a portal that provides access to the information holdings of member organizations through one web-based location and provides a robust marketplace in which the products and services needed to use and understand this information can be readily acquired. The Exchange will be linked to USGS’s Geospatial One Stop portal, NASA’s Earth Science Gateway, the Global Change Master Directory, and the EOS Clearinghouse, integrating much of the available data and information and making it available through one access point.

| − | ====AirQuest====
| |
| − | [http://intranet.epa.gov/oar/airquest/ AirQuest] is an integrated air quality database including data from AQS, AIRNow, the emissions inventory, and CMAQ runs. Working in collaboration with the NASA 3D-AQS project, AirQuest also includes data from satellite sensors and ground-based lidar, formatted to be compatible with EPA monitors and with CMAQ. Data can be visualized through the AirQuest GIS system and are compatible with ArcGIS, GoogleEarth, and SAS.
| |
| − | ====VIEWS====
| |
| − | The [http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/views/ Visibility Information Exchange Web System (VIEWS)] is an online exchange of air quality data, research, and ideas designed to understand the effects of air pollution on visibility and to support the Regional Haze Rule enacted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce regional haze and improve visibility in national parks and wilderness areas.
| |
| − | ====HEI Air Quality Database====
| |
| − | The [http://hei.aer.com/login.php HEI Air Quality Database] focuses on levels of PM2.5 components and gaseous pollutants at and near sites in the EPA's PM2.5 Chemical Speciation Trends Network (STN) and State, Local and Tribal air monitoring stations (SLAMS). The Database is available to investigators interested in using the information for studies on air quality and health. Currently, the Database contains information on speciated PM components and gaseous pollutants at these sites for the years 2000-2006 and it is anticipated that the information will be updated regularly over the next 1-2 years.

| − | ====Unidata Internet Data Distribution, IDD, System====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Unidata community of over 150 universities has built a system for disseminating real-time earth observations via the Internet. Unlike other systems, which are based on data centers where the information can be accessed, the [http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/ Unidata IDD] is designed so a university can request that certain data sets be delivered to computers at their site as soon as they are available from the observing system. The IDD system also allows any site with access to specialized observations to inject the dataset into the IDD for delivery to other interested sites. Many of the 250 participating sites are receiving about 2GB of real-time data per hour via the IDD -- including weather forecasts, weather station obs, data from all NEXRADS, GOES satellite imagery, lightning strike data, aircraft-borne measurements, etc. The IDD recently surpassed FTP in terms of the amount of data delivered on the Internet 2. Early experiments are underway for using the underlying Unidata [http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ Local Data Manager (LDM)]to deliver air quality data in real time.
