Background
About the Data System (Purposes, Audience)
The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) is a consortium of over 100 organizations in government academia, and industry that collect, disseminate, interpret and apply Earth observation information. ESIP serves as a forum for fostering and sustaining collaborations and interoperability that aim to improve processes for the use of earth observation information in research, education, management and policy.
ESIP "clusters" are domain-specific focus groups that are intended to promote informal, easy exchange of information among organizations. The ESIP Air Quality Cluster aims to connect air quality data consumers and providers by:
- bringing people and ideas together on how to deliver ES data to AQ researchers, managers and other users/consumers
- facilitate and demonstrate the information flow of from data providers to air quality consumers

Overview
The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) is a consortium of over 100 organizations in government academia, and industry that collect, disseminate, interpret and apply Earth observation information. ESIP serves as a forum for fostering and sustaining collaborations and interoperability that aim to improve processes for the use of earth observation information in research, education, management and policy.
ESIP "clusters" are domain-specific focus groups that are intended to promote informal, easy exchange of information among organizations.
The ESIP Air Quality Cluster aims to connect air quality data consumers and providers by:
- bringing people and ideas together on how to deliver ES data to AQ researchers, managers and other users/consumers
- facilitate and demonstrate the information flow of from data providers to air quality consumers
Goals
- Serve as facilitator and advisor for the Earth science information community.
- Promote efficient flow of Earth science data from collection to end-use.
- Improve quality and usability of Earth science data and information systems.
- Expand the use of Earth science information – get it to the decision-makers.
- Educate the public about Earth science and science information systems.
Activities
- Provides Neutral Turf where Major Earth Observing Agencies Can Work Together with Other Community Interests to Advance Key National Objectives
- Provide a Broad-Based Community-of-Practice where Strategic Partners can Seek Advice, Generate New Collaborations and Cultivate New End-Users.
- Provide a Forum in which Inter-Agency, Inter-Disciplinary, Interoperability Problems can be Addressed and Resolved.
- Provide an Earth Information Exchange where the Products and Services of all ESIP Members can be Easily Found and Acquired.
- Provide domain-specific context for data where metadata and other contextual information about earth science data is available to help understand how data are creating and used
