  1. Air Quality Management: Workflow, Value-Adding Activities, Participants and Earth Observation Needs R. Poirot, W. White, S. Falke, M. Schulz., K Hoijarvi, K. Torsett, E. Robinson, J Husar CoP Contact: R. Husar Oct. 5, 2010 DRAFT

  2. Background • AQ Management (AQM) and Science relies on a range of on Earth Observations (EO) form in-situ and remote sensing platforms. • The the procedures and the outcome of AQM are defined by laws and regulations in most countries including the workflow/activities, the key participants and their respective needs. • Hence, AQM is a suitable application area of the Global Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) where the user needs are satisfied by services offered . This is an initial attempt to formulate EO needs of AQM. The AQ Community of Practice is invited to contribute to this effort.

  3. AQ Management: Science View Earth Observations are are most needed for quantifying pollutant emissions, transport and ambient concentrations User Types: Emission Analysts, Modelers, AQ Data Analysts

  4. GEOSS Information Flow Framework AQ Management: Information Flow View GEOSS Core AQ Analyst Modeler AQ Domain Analyst Policy Analyst Policy Maker The AQ Information system processes Earth and other observations into actionable knowledge for policy/decision makers. User Types: AQ data analysts and modelers; health, aquatic and other domain analysts, policy analysts and policy/decision makers

  5. AQ Management: Process View Backmann, Scheffe

  6. Approach to Define EO Needs for AQM • Use the Process View to identify the workflow steps • For each step, list the respective required activities • Identify the participants who perform the activities • State their respective needs for EOs, tools and methods Define needs using the open GEOSS AQ Community of Practice Structure Consistent with: GEO Task US 0901a: Priority Earth Observations for AQ GEOSS Clearinghouse/AQ Community Catalog User Requirement Registry

  7. General Requirements by User Type EO Requirements: Where, What Type; Pollutant User Types Surface | MassConc. | PM25, PM10, O3, SO2, NO2, VOC; AQ Analyst Surface | MassConc. |PM25, PM10, PMComp, WindField Receptor Modeler Transport Modeler 4Dim | Emiss. /4DWea | PM25, PM10, SO2, NO2, VOC Emission Analyst Surface/Col| Emission Obs/ | PM25, PM10, SO2, NO2, VOC; Emission Modeler Surface | Activity Drivers | PM25, PM10, SO2, NO2, VOC; Health Analyst Surface | Expos., HealthMeas | PM25, PM10, O3, SO2, NO2 Aquatic Analyst Surface | Depos., AquaMeas | PM25, PM10, O3, SO2, NO2, VOC; Terrestrial Analyst Surface | Depos., TerrMeas. | PM25, PM10, O3, SO2, NO2 Surface | Light Ext., Vistas | PM25, PM10, PMComp Visibility Analyst Policy Analyst Surface | Analysts Outout |PM25, PM10, O3, SO2, NO2 Any AQM activity may require multiple user types Any user type can contribute to multiple AQM activities The specific user requirements depend on the activity
