  1. TSS Project Update WRAP Technical Analysis Forum San Francisco, CA October 11, 2007

  2. Review of 2007 TSS activities Planned 2008 TSS activities FETS project update 2007 budget overview Outline

  3. WRAP data substitution project (completed for 10 sites) Data available in TSS tools WEP project (completion in 2007) Re-run of baseline back trajectories (done) Selection worst/best days (done) Tool development to replace spreadsheets with graphics (done) Awaiting Plan02d results to update WEP (expected this fall) PRP18 results uploaded to TSS (completed) Addition of emissions data to TSS database (completed) 2007 TSS Activities: Data Import & Management

  4. Redesign of Haze Planning tools (completed) Migrated older “tab” tools to current Haze Planning page Resolved various issues and bugs Integrated legacy code into core TSS infrastructure Further user interface refinement planned Visibility projections tool (completed) Emissions review tool (completed) Major bugs fixed Various small items still under investigation Dynamic Class I Area Summary Table (completion in 2007) ENVIRON TSS GIS tool (completed) New version of the Query Wizard (completed) 2007 TSS Activities: Data Review Tools

  5. TSS Glossary (completed) Future plans to include glossary in Tool Tips (an example can be found by examining the first tab of the Query Wizard) Methods documents (completed) Monitoring, Emissions, Modeling, Attribution Methods Umbrella documents (Monitoring Metrics; Key to Monitoring-Emissions-Modeling Mapping) Some revisions expected due to additional datasets, etc. TSS Description Document (completion in 2007) To be used by states and EPA to navigate the TSS for Regional Haze issues 2007 TSS Activities: Documentation & Help

  6. 5 Webinar/Conference Call Trainings 2-IWG; 1-Tribal; 1-RPO; 1-CENRAP Feb 15; Apr 12; Apr 13; May 31; Jun 6 1 Training Workshop, June 19-20 Broad audience (states, EPA, RPO reps., FLMs) Reviewed monitoring, emissions, and modeling activities Three training sessions offered for TSS and FETS 2007 TSS Activities: Training

  7. Address IMPROVE data management issues Upload remaining 2005 calculated variable data Upload 2005 “Old” Algorithm RHR data Address various inconsistencies between RHR datasets Refine and re-factor TSS infrastructure Consolidate and “harden” rapid prototyping code Implement remaining features Continue testing, debugging, and polishing Import additional data sets and products NPS Ozone (1994 – 1995 already imported, the rest in progress) Other “parameters”, such as CO2 Additional map layers, as desired Planned 2008 TSS Activities

  8. Migrate TSS hardware to Front Range Internet data center Purchase and configure new web and database servers Install servers at FRII data center Move production operations to FRII data center Expected benefits: Faster connection speed, better climate control, more reliable power, faster web page performance, expanded system administration flexibility Further develop the integration between VIEWS & TSS Consolidate software libraries Emphasize the “data support system” aspect of VIEWS Emphasize the “decision support system” aspect of the TSS Planned 2008 TSS Activities (cont’d)

  9. Add development staff Approximately 2 FTEs are expected to be necessary for ongoing VIEWS/TSS development in the coming year CIRA will be hiring a new developer to replace Rodger Ames Add new hardware TSS web and database servers need to be upgraded Production operations need to be migrated to FRII data center Add new software Operating system and baseline software for new servers Updated versions of development software Upgraded charting and analysis software Additional database design and management software Planned 2008 TSS Activities (cont’d)

  10. Integration with the Emissions Data Management System (EDMS) Integration with the Fire Emissions Tracking System (FETS) Integration of a “snapshot” of the current COHA website Conduct “outreach” workshop to raise awareness of TSS resources and vision to a larger audience Planned 2008 TSS Activities (cont’d)

  11. Nov 15 Development Ops/Data Oct 12 Late 07/Early 08 FETS – Development Status Maintenance/ Integrate w/TSS

  12. Synch-up FETS and TSS registration & permission systems. Incorporate fire emissions into TSS emissions tables/tools. TSS and FETS SQL database structures are identical Design & implement analytical tools for fire emissions, IMPROVE data (carbon), and modeled impacts. Emphasize NATURAL and ANTHROPOGENIC portions of fire emissions FETS – Integration with TSS

  13. Invoiced to Date $104k Maintenance $15k Budget $130k FETS – Budget Status

  14. CIRA TSS Budget as of September 30

  15. ARS TSS Budget as of September 30
