Fragments for Chapter 6. Integration of Observations, Emissions and Modeling

This wiki page is inteded to be the collaborative workspace for Task Force members interested in the HTAP Information System development, implementation and use. The contents can be freely edited by anyone who is logged in. Comments and feedback can also be sent by email to rhusar@me.wustl.edu. The content of this page is is on the Information System that supposts Chapter 6. The subsections are action-oriented.

From Oct 2006 Prospectus: This chapter (Chapter 6: Integration of Observations, Emissions and Modeling.) will discuss the need to integrate information from observations, models, and emissions inventories to better understand intercontinental transport. A draft HTAP Report Chap. 6 - Jan 07 Outline is also on this wiki.

Integration of Observations and Emissions

Identify providers and datasets relevant to HTAP

Homogenize the data into an interoperable dataset

Integrate multi-sensory data into a coherent data systems

Perform QA at all steps

Integration of Models

Step 1

Step 1

Step 1

Reconciliation and Integration of Observations, Emissions and Models

Characterize pollutant pattern and SSR

Develop real-time data assimilation

Perform reanalysis with assimilated data
