LATEST VERSION AVAILABLE: Alpha 007. November 9 2007

We are looking for Alpha Testers: Send me an email (bruce at nmri.org) with your snail mail address, and we will mail you one. thanks

Goal: To gather existing NO2 data archives into a single DVD-based data explorer software product so that scientists, data providers, application developers, and decision makers can explore not only the existing data corpus (or a representative sample) but also the potential use cases for data analysis by decision makers. NOTE: this is not a final product for use by decision makers, but a prototype that helps move the conversation along among the various stakeholders in the NO2 data system.

Technology: DIAL will combine run-time IDL data analysis and visualization tools with Adobe Director GUI authoring to create the prototype application.

Specifications:

Alpha 007 includes:

ALL available OMI NO2 daily total column and tropospherical data for lower 48 state US. (up to October 30, 2007) [Source: GSFC Data Pool/AURA science team] VIEWER: View and subset single dates or ranges of dates ANIMATE: Choose the overall date range and animate through your choice of days, weeks, etc. GRAPH: Look at changes in the average NO2 value for any part of the US over any date range COMPARE: compare a date or range for any part of the US with monthly, seasonal, annual, or total NO2 values across the entire OMI data set. Find anomalies

Tell us which new feature would be best for your work!

-NEEDS: We are tool builders, we need help from the atmospheric scientists/science users to know what the preliminary use cases are for NO2 data analysis on the desktop.  For example, there is a GOME NO2 "climatology" for NO2... how might this be useful?
+Specifications:
-* Which are the top 5 data resources for NO2?  We can handle any data source that IDL can handle.
+Alpha 007 includes:
-* What types of manipulations are most useful? Anomalies? Animations? Zooming into locales? etc.

-* Should we look only at North America?  Or do we need the global data for this prototype?
+Tell us which new feature would be best for your work!
-* What other questions should we be asking?

-NEW Questions:
-Are the OMI Level 3 data from the GES Datapool the same data that are being served up by the DataFed?
-Are the OMI Level 3 data from the GES Datapool the same as TEMIS uses for its monthly averages?
-Is there any value in comparing the total column with the Tropo data?
